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."
As 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. "Now, go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.
The students freaked out, and hesitated for several minutes. But eventually, one by one, each took a turn 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, "Now, the second most important quality in Veterinary Medicine is observation. None of you seem to have observed that I stuck in my middle finger, but sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life's tough, and it's even tougher if you're stupid."
