FIVE surgeons were discussing which profession provided the best patients to operate on.
The first 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 colour-coded.”
The third says: “No, I really think librarians are the best. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”
The fourth chimes in: “You know, I like construction workers. These guys 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 shut them all up when he observed: “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no b***s, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts – the mouth and the backside – and they are interchangeable.”
