In the interest of Political Correctness coupled with an optimistic
belief about people in general (though the two may well be incompatible)
I formally pronounce my faith that the original sender and most people
in general would consider this as funny:

A psychiatrist discovered that his garbage disposal had stopped up.
After a few attempts at do-it-yourself repair he made the situation
worse and nearly shredded his fingers to boot. So he gave in and called
the plumber.

The plumber had the entire thing under control and good as new in about
30 minutes. He presented the bill, to which the psychiatrist responded,
"Your charging me $236.50 for thirty minutes of work??! I have a Ph.D.,
an M.D. and a license to practice medicine and I don't even charge half
that rate!"

After patiently waiting for the reluctantly written check, the plumber
folded it, and while placing it in his pocket, replied, "Yeah, I know
what you mean. When I was a psychiatrist, I couldn't charge more than
half that either."



I hope this restores the proper PC balance.

A bit of humor to brighten your brief day..

 

Morris, the loudmouth mechanic, was removing the cylinder heads from the
motor of a car when he spotted a famous heart surgeon who was standing
off
to the side, waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his
Mercedes.

Morris shouted across the garage,  "Hey Doc! Is dat you? Come on ova'
here a
minute."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris the
mechanic was working on the car.

Morris straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag, and asked
argumentatively,
"So, Mr. Fancy Doctor, look at dis here work. I ALSO open hearts, take
valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish dis baby will
purr like a kitten. So how come you get da big bucks, when you an' me is
doing basically da same work?"

The surgeon leaned over and whispered to Morris the loudmouth mechanic,
"Try doing it with the engine running."
