A Mexican named Juan decided that he             `--\_    /
might be able to supplement his income              //   \\
by investing in, breeding, and selling             {{     }}
tropical birds.  He began by buying a        =======""===""=======
large red-billed toucan and started to        jgs     |||
raise it to attempt to discover if he                 '|'
had a flair for handling birds. He soon
discovered that the care and feeding of his rare tropical toucan was
costing much more than he had originally anticipated.

Juan tried to save money by sacrificing his own dietary well being
and began living on basic staples like rice and beans. Unfortunately,
the bird was still very expensive to feed and care for.  Juan
experimented.  He began feeding his bird the same food he ate.

He was surprised to discover that the bird flourished.  The toucan
did wonderfully well eating the same inexpensive food as Juan.  The
bird particularly liked rice and beans.  Juan became famous in the
annals of bird breeding when it was discovered that toucan live as
cheap as Juan.

the man says to the woman, "Hey,
how about if we sleep together tonight.  No strings attached.  It'll
just be one night of fun."  The woman doctor agrees to it.  So they
go back to her place and he goes in the bedroom.

She goes in the bathroom and starts scrubbing up like she's about to
go into the operating room. She scrubs for a good 10 minutes. Finally
she goes in the bedroom and they have sex for an hour or so.

Afterwards, the man says to the woman, "You're a surgeon, aren't
you?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

The man says, "I could tell by the way you scrubbed up before we
started."

"Oh, that makes sense", says the woman".

You're an anesthesiologist aren't you?" "Yeah", says the man, a bit
surprised. "How did you know?"

The woman answers, "Because I didn't feel a thing."
