THE OAK TREE
Two doctors were jogging down a wood path,
each arguing as to who was the better doctor. The first claimed he was better than the
second. The second disagreed. This argument went on for thirty minutes or so.
Finally the first doctor said to the
second, "If you're so good, then prove it."
The second doctor said, "Okay, I
will."
The second doctor looked around, up and
down and saw an owl sitting up in an old oak tree. He said, "See that owl sitting in
that old oak tree?"
The first replied, "Yes, I see the owl
in the old oak tree."
"I'll give that owl in that old oak
tree a tonsillectomy in ten minutes," said the second doctor.
The first doctor encouraged him to try.
The clock started ticking, he reached up
into the old oak tree and grabbed the owl. With a "clip", "snip", and
"clip", the second doctor was done. He proceeded to say, "Nine minutes and
fifteen seconds. I'm through. Beat that!"
The first doctor then stated that he could
beat the second doctor by performing a vasectomy on the owl in the old oak tree in five
minutes. He asked the second if he successfully completed the vasectomy in five minutes
would he be the better of the two doctors.
To that the second doctor replied,
"Yes, I would have to agree you were the better doctor, if you can do a vasectomy
that fast on that owl in the old oak tree."
The clock started ticking, he reached up in
the old oak tree and grabbed the same owl. With a "clip", "snip",
"cut", "bang" "stitch" and "clip", the first
doctor was done. He completed his operation on the owl in the old oak tree in a record
three minutes and thirty-five seconds.
Both doctors went on jogging down the path
happy and content as to which was the better of the two doctors.
The next day the owl and his mate were
flying along when Mrs. Owl stated, "I'm tired, lets land and rest a while."
Mr. Owl said, "O.K."
Mrs. Owl looked around and saw with her
keen vision a wonderful old oak tree to perch on. She stated, "Let's land over there
on that old oak tree."
Mr. Owl looked around and saw the old oak
tree, only to cry out, "I'm not landing in that old oak tree!"
"Why not?" said Mrs. Owl.
Mr. Owl again replied, "I'm not
landing in that old oak tree."
This argument continued for some thirty
minutes or so.
Finally Mrs. Owl said, "Tell me why
you don't want to land in that old oak tree or we are just going to have to land
there!"
Mr. Owl replied, "Well, ever since I
landed in that old oak tree yesterday, I can't hoot worth a darn, or screw worth a
hoot."
