NOT MINE
As
a result of an accident in the workshop, a foreman’s ear was cut off. His
co-workers rushed him to the nearest hospital. The duty-surgeon examined the
patient and then asked:
“Did
anyone have the sense to bring the missing organ? If no time is wasted, it can
be reattached and all that will remain from the accident will be an almost
unnoticeable scar.”
When
they all shook their heads in negation he ordered them to hasten back to the
workshop and retrieve it. A short while later the ear was brought to the
hospital in a plastic bag. After the blood was washed off, the injured man was
asked if this is his ear.
“No,”
- said the man, - “mine had a pencil behind it.”
