Check out the crazy student solves these math problems! Ha ha ha!
-----Yes. Ladies and gentleman, this is my father. He has quintessential dad humor. And if you've heard my jokes, now you know where I get my terrible sense of humor from.
Anyways, that was a long story to set you up for just a little email my dad sent me. I thought it very amusing. Humor in bailouts and medicine? Yes, apparently it's possible.

Physicians' Opinion of Financial Bail Out Package
Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve. Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, grow up!" The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it. The Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter." The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no. In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.
