Socrates sits in Athen's marketplace, teaching philosophy. A man rushes by, followed by another man shouting: "Stop him, he is a murderer!" Socrates does not bother to move. The first man can escape, and the second man accuses Socrates: "Why did you not stop him, he is a murderer!" Socrates answers: "What is a murderer?" "A murderer is a man who kills." "You mean, a butcher?" "No, a murderer is a man who kills other men." "You mean, a soldier?" "No, a murderer is a man who kills other men in the time of peace." "You mean, an executioner?" "No, a murderer is a man who kills other men in the time of peace, coming into their own houses to do so." "Now I know what you mean: a doctor!" ========== This joke was brought to you by the funnystuff mailing list at <http://www.pbbt.com>.
