Joke of the Week :-D
Two doctors, one a Psychiatrist and the other a Proctologist, opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Hysterias and Posteriors."
The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to, "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." This was not acceptable either. So in an effort to satisfy the council they changed the sign to, "Catatonics and High Colonics." Thumbs down again. Then came, "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Still no good.
Another attempt resulted in, "Minds and Behinds." Unacceptable again. So they tried, "Lost Souls and Butt Holes." No way.
"Analysis and Anal Cysts?" Nope. "Nuts and Butts?" Uh uh. "Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go.
"Loons and Moons?" Forget it.
Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, "Odds and Ends."
Approved!
