Blond Med Student


Debbie was really sick of "blond" jokes. As an attractive, blond,
newly-arrived medical student at the University of Utah, she felt
disrespected -- as though the Utah natives considered her a
California Blond Beach Bimbo. So Debbie decided to test her hypothesis.
She dyed her hair dark black. Then she went to a new area on the
medical school grounds to see if people treated her differently.

She saw a farmer unloading a truckload of sheep for the artificial
heart program. "You know, I'm a medical student." The farmer just
nodded. "I'm quite smart." The farmer smiled. "I'm sure you are."
"Let me prove it." said Debbie. "Are they paying you for these sheep
by the pound?"

The farmer said, "Yes, they've budgeted three thousand bucks. We
have to weigh them to see how many I leave here."  "Well, I'll bet you
a hundred bucks I can calculate how many sheep that is, in my head."

The farmer leaned back and pursed his lips. "I don't have a hundred on
me. But I'll bet a sheep against your hundred." Debbie studied the flock
as it milled around in the pen. "Thirty-seven! It will take 37 sheep." she said.

Sure enough, when the weighing was complete, the medical school had purchased 37 sheep. "Well, a bet's a bet." said the farmer. "Go pick a
sheep from the rest of the flock."

Debbie ran into the flock and grabbed a fluffy black and white one.
Holding it with both arms, she walked to her car. She heard the farmer
call after her. "Hey, we farmers are pretty smart too."

"I'm sure you are." said Debbie.
"Let me prove it," the farmer asked. "If I can calculate the original color
of your hair, can I have my dog back?"

"Doctors at a hospital in Brooklyn, New York have gone on strike.
Hospital officials say they will find out what the Doctors' demands are
as soon as they can get a nurse over there to read the picket signs."

A man goes to the doctor and says to the doctor:
"It hurts when I press here" (pressing his side)
"And when I press here" (pressing the other side)
"And here" (his leg)
"And here, here and here" (his other leg, and both arms)

So the doctor examined him all over and finally discovered
what was wrong...
"You've got a broken finger!"
