First year med students were receiving their first anatomy class, with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body, which was covered by a white sheet.
The professor started the class by saying:
"In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body." For an example, the professor pulled back the sheet, suck his finger into the butt of the corpse, withdrew it, and stuck it 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 butt of the dead body and licking 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 licked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention."
