Bob and Larry were out chopping wood one day. As they were chopping, Bob slipped and cut off his arm. Picking it up and placing it in a bag, Bob and Larry went to the Doctor. The Doctor looked at the situation and stated, “This should not be a problem. Reatatching an arm is easy. Larry come back in an hour.” So Larry left too chop some more wood. Thirty minutes later he went back to the Doctor, who told him, “The operation was a success. Bob is at batting practice.”
Bob and Larry went back too chopping wood, when once again Bob slipped. This time he took off his leg. They put it in a bag and went to the Doctor who told them, “Well, legs are a little harder, but give me 2 hours.” Larry left and came back in 1 hour. The Doctor told him, “Oh the operation went fine. Bob is out playing soccer.”
Bob and Larry were out chopping wood when Bob lost his footing and lopped off his head. Picking up the head and placing it in a bag, Larry took Bob to the Doctor.
The Doctor looked at the head and said, “I don’t know. Reataching heads is alittle trickier than an arm or a leg, but I think I can do it. Give me 4 hours.”
Larry left the Doctor to his work and continued to chop wood. 3 1/2 hours later he went back to the Doctor. The Doc told him the sad news. “I’m sorry Larry, but Bob didn’t make it.”
“That’s OK Doc, I’m sure you did everything possible during the operation.”
“Oh, well I didn’t even operate. Bob was dead before I began.”
“How did he die, Doc?”, Larry asked.
“He suffocated in the bag.”
