Paying Attention
First-year students at Texas A&M's Vet school were receiving their first
anatomy class with a 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
is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal body.'
The Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the
dead cow, withdrew it and stuck it 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 anal opening of the dead cow and
then 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!!'
