New School Semester ...and a joke

Well, another semester of school has begun. I'm only taking 9 credit hours this semester. One class will be fairly low intensity and mostly a bunch of easy "busy work." The other classes are going to be reading and writing intensive as I push back into the heart of some remaining upper division English courses. So far, I'm enjoying what I'm seeing and I think it's going to be a great semester. Just very busy.

And with the start of a new semester, I figured it'd be a good post for a "school" related joke:

*************************

First-year students at Texas A&M's 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, but
it's even tougher if you're stupid."
