Some of the world's foremost physicians were in attendance. A surgeon from Austria was among the first to speak. He reported that, "We in Austria have perfected the technique of organ transplants. We can take the stomach (for exanple) out of any dead (but otherwise healthy) individual, place it in a recipient, and have the patient on his feet looking for a job in 4 months." He got a hearty round of applause. Next a West German doctor rose to the lectern and revealed that, "We here in Germany can perform successful *brain* transplants. We can take the brain of one indididual, transplant it into another person, and have our patient out looking for a job in 3 months." He received a standing ovation. Then an American doctor took his turn on stage. He told his audience that, "Over in the USA we've really got this transplant stuff down. We transplanted an asshole from Hollywood to Washington, and in just 2 months he had half the country out looking for jobs." Mark R. Paulin {dec,ucb}vax!teklabs!tekmdp[ !azure ]!markp
