surgeons

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.
The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."
The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded."
The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers, those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would."
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed "You're all wrong, politicians are the easiest to operate on."
"There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the butt are interchangeable."

swans

i thought it was about time that i put an update on here about the swans,

they are both doing well and very much in charge of the river again,the ducks,coots and moorhens still swear at them but generally from a distance, except when bread or corn is involved then its a beaky free for all,          the male still has a hissy fit when he see`s me but is trusting me more and more as time goes on,

 

BUT we had a serious problem earlier and as yet don`t know the outcome ,

another swan was found on the river, and its in a bad way, we managed to get hold of the `swan man` and he was here within 10 minutes,it looked to have a broken wing, but it seems that isn`t the case, the bird was very cold when taken away but is now in a warm pen with a heater, the average weight of a swan that size is about 10 kilos this one weighed in at 6 kilos, and feather wise is very bedraggled, the swan people are thinking that it may have lost its mate  as well, as its showing signs of being depressed so they will be doing their best but its basicly upto the swan,  will keep you updated when i know more,
