The Amazing Surgeon

Three surgeons were having lunch together and discussing surgeries they had performed.

One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in the country. A concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident. I reattached them and eight months later, he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

One of the others said, "That's nothing. A young man lost both arms and legs in a terrible accident. I re-attached them and two years later, he won two gold medals in field events in the Olympics."

The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. A few years ago, there was a talkative guy ignored in his community. To get attention, he got on a high horse to speak, and as he was speaking, his teleprompter fell and the frightened horse bolted into a speeding train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse's ass and the guy's mouth.

Now, he's President of the United States."
