First-year students at Michigan State Vet school were
receiving their first anatomy class, with a real
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.
For an example, 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 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, it's even tougher if you're stupid.'
