A professor is giving the first year medical students their
first lecture on autopsies, and decides to give them a
few
basics before starting. "You must be capable of two
things
to do an autopsy. The first thing is that you
must have no
sense of fear." At this point, the
lecturer sticks his finger
into the dead man's anus,
and then licks it.
He asks all the students to do the same thing with the
corpses
in front of them. After a couple of minutes
silence, they
follow suit.
"The second thing is that you must have an acute sense
of
observation: I stuck my middle finger into the
corpse's anus,
but I licked my index."
