At a doctor's convention in Switzerland, a conversation was taking place in a tavern after an enthusiastic mid-day lecture.

A Danish doctor said, "Medicine in my country is so advanced we can take a kidney out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor said, "That's nothing! In Germany, we could take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in 4 weeks."

A Russian doctor said, "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we could take half a heart from one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

The Sri Lankan doctor, not to be outdone, said, "Hah, we can take an asshole out of prison, put him in the Government and half the country will be looking for work the next day!"
