The Dead Cow and Vet School .
First-year students at Melbourne Uni 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 veterinarian: 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 his finger 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, it's even tougher if you're stupid..'
