First-year students at the OSU Vet School were attending their first anatomy
class with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with
the body covered with a white sheet.
The professor started the class by telling them, “In Veterinary medicine it
is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first thing is
that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal’s body.” For an
example, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt
of the cow, withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his mouth. “Go ahead and do
the same thing,” he told his students.
The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took
turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead cow and sucking on it.
When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, “The second
most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and
sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life’s tough but it’s
even tougher if you’re stupid.
T.G.I.F
That’s funny! I interviewed for a job at the OSU vet school (Oregon State). I was asked if I minded bad smells. Apparently the architect had situated the drop off area for cadavers right where the building’s air intake was.
Architectural FAIL!
