PLEASE don't give me a hard time about this contribution from Bella Smith: it's not a political comment on my part, it's a joke, folks....  (Well, maybe Bella doesn't think so.) 

The Medical Convention

OVERHEARD AT THE INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CONVENTION:

A Japanese doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says, "That is nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."

A British doctor says, "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

The Arkansas doctor, not to be outdone, says, "You guys are way behind.  We took a man with no brain out of Arkansas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work."

Guess it depends on your politics.  From my brother, Lloyd Williamson, different countries but basically the same joke with a difference in the final paragraph:

The Texas doctor, not to be outdone, says "You guys are way behind. We recently took a man with no brain out of Texas, put him in the White House for three years, and now half the country is looking for work."
