Back to where you came from. An almost similar text in Greek.

41

Once there were three surgeons engaged in conversation. They got on the topic of their occupation and each stated who they liked to operate on.

The first doctor said, "I like to work on electricians."
"Why?" the others replied.
He answered, "When you open them up, they are all color coded so you know where everything goes."

The second doctor said, "I like to work on librarians."
"Why?" the other doctors asked.
He replied, "Librarians are all organized in a sophisticated pattern."

The third doctor said, "Well, I like to work on lawyers."
"Lawyers?!" replied the others suprised.
"Yes, Lawyers" he stated.
"But why?" they asked him.
"Well, they are gutless, they have no spine, and their heads and butts are interchangable."

Three weeks after her wedding day, the wife called her minister.

"Reverend," she wailed, "my husband and I had a DREADFUL fight!"

"Calm down, my child," said the minister, "it's not half as bad as you think. Every marriage has to have its first fight!"

"I know, I know!" said the wife. "What I don't know is what to do with the BODY!"

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework, you're a pansy.

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her. If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you're a wimp. If you don't, you're insensitive.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination. If she asks you, it's a favor.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you're a sexist. If you don't, you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain. If you don't, you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you're after something. If you don't, you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements, you're up on yourself. If you don't, you're not ambitious.

I noticed my husband standing on the bathroom scale, sucking in his ample stomach.

Thinking he was trying to weigh less with this maneuver, I quipped, "I don't think that is going to help much, hon?"

"Sure it does," he said. "How else can I can see the numbers!"
