“It appears that three men went for a long walk, a doctor, an architect and a politician, and they fell to discussing as to whose profession was the oldest. Said the doctor: “My profession is the oldest since God created Eve out of Adam’s rib and in fact, performed a surgical operation.” Said the architect: “My profession is still older, since God, just like any architect, in creating the world, made it out of chaos.” “Ah,” joined in the politician, “but who made the chaos?”

“A man went for treatment and found himself in a room with two doors; one marked Chronic, the other Acute. He knew his condition was acute so he went through that door and found himself in a room with two doors, one marked Above the Waist, the other Below the Waist. He entered the former and found himself in a room with two doors; one was marked Republican, the other Democrat. He went through the one marked Republican and found himself out on the street.”
