A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asks, "Johnnie! What is your problem?!" Johnnie says, "I'm too smart for the first grade. My sister's in the third grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third grade! "The teacher had had enough. As a result, she took Johnnie to the principal's office and explained Johnnie's request. While Johnnie waited in the outer office, the teacher explained the situation to the principal. The principal told Johnnie' s teacher that he would give the boy a test and if Johnnie failed to answer any of the special questions he was to go back to the first grade and behave. The teacher agreed. Johnnie was brought into the room. The principal told Johnnie his terms and Johnnie agreed.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"Johnnie: "9" Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"Johnnie: "36"Principal: "What is 9 x 9?"Johnnie: "81"And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grader should know. Johnnie appeared to have a strong case. The principal looked at the teacher and told her, "I think Johnnie can go on to the third grade.
"The teacher, knowing Little Johnnie's tendency toward sexual wisecracks, said to the principal, "Let *me* ask him some questions before we make that decision?" The principal and Johnnie both agreed, Johnnie with a sly look on his face. The teacher began by asking, "What does a cow have 4 of that I have only 2 of? "Johnnie: "Legs." Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have? "The principal's eyes open wide! Before he could stop Johnnie 's expected answer, Johnnie said, "Pockets." The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "I think we should put Johnnie in the fifth grade. I missed the last two questions myself!"

4 MDs and 4 PhDs are going to a meeting by train. The 4 MDs each have their own ticket, but the 4 PhDs (who have little money, of course) have 1 ticket among them. The MDs ask the PhDs (in a caring manner), "How are you going to manage with just one ticket between the four of you? "Just watch," reply the PhDs. They all get on the train and the 4 MDs take their seats and hand their tickets to the conductor. But the PhDs all pile into a bathroom, and when the conductor comes by, a single arm reaches out and gives him the ticket.The MDs, feeling enlightened, decide to try the same thing on the way home, so they purchase just one ticket among four of them. The PhDs buy no ticket at all. "How are you going to get home?" ask the MDs. "Just watch." the PhDs reply. When they get on the train, all the MDs pile into a bathroom.3 of PhDs get into another bathroom. The fourth Ph.D. then knocks on the MDs' bathroom door and says "Ticket please."

"Thoughts" to be thought about: Contributed by Dr. Zainul Abideen (PI Member)
1. Ill-tempered physicians get the best treatment from the lab and the worst treatment from the nurses. Congenial physicians get the worst treatment from the lab and the best treatment from the nurses. Unlike nurses, laboratorians have just not mastered the art of passive-aggressiveness.
2.In a surgeon, flat affect and mask-like facies are evidence of focus and technical competence. In a psychiatrist, flat affect and mask-like facies are evidence of mental illness.
3. The male physicians with the least glamorous wives are the most happy, while the female physicians with the least attractive husbands are the least happy.
