Five Surgeons
Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to
operate on.












The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my
operating table, because when you open them up, everything
inside is numbered".









The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians.
Everything inside them is color-coded".












The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the
best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."








The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction
workers. They always understand when you have a few parts
left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you
said it would."





But the fifth surgeon, Dr. Morris Fishbein, shuts them all up
when he observes: "The French are the easiest to operate on.
There's no guts, no heart and no spine. Plus the head and
butt are interchangeable.
