Dead Cow Lecture

[fourstringdrums]

First-year students at the Purdue Vet School were attending 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's body." For an example, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the cow, withdrew it, and stuck his finger 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 butt of the dead cow and sucking on it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked a 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 but it's even tougher if you're stupid."

LMAO! Is this true?

No, its an old joke. Ive heard the same, only with a med school professor and a human cadaver replacing the vet teach and dead cow.

 

[macaroni tony]

Oh. Well funny nonetheless

 

[MatticusMania]

Maybe its based on a true story? Or inspired by real events? I dunno. But, yes, it is funny.

It's an old joke. The variation I remember hearing was about a human autopsy and tasting something like urine. But the punch line about observing which finger the professor "used" and which one he sucked was the same.

[Relic]

I hate it when that happens!

 

[Indiana Mike]

Old med school joke... Guess it made it's way to the vet schools. In Grad school I worked as gross anatomy tech at the University med school... Most first year med students had heard the joke and were expecting the worst. All they got was hours and hours of work and little sleep.

Yummy! Good one.

Hi.

Yep, an old joke. Funny as hell none the less.

I heard it as a professor discussing the overly sweet taste of a diabetic's urine compared to a healthy person. He stuck one finger in the urine, but tasted a different finger.
