Jon's working at the lumberyard, pushing a tree
through the buzz saw, and accidentally shears off
all ten of his fingers. He goes to the emergency room.
The doctor says, "Yuck! Well, give me the fingers,
and I'll see what I can do."
Jon says, "I haven't got the fingers."
The doctor says, "What do you mean, you haven't got
the fingers? It's the year 2000. We've got
microsurgery and all kinds of incredible techniques.
I could have put them back on and made
you like new. Why didn't you bring the fingers?"
Jon says, "Well, heck, Doc, I couldn't pick 'em up."

A modern-day Tarzan got into a squirmish with an aligator.....and lost.
The cantankerous croc (alliteration req'd) had chomped off his arm AND
his genitals.
Fortunately for him, a US Army hospital was nearby, and they managed to
graft his arm back on, but his genitals were lost forever. A zoo, also
close enough to make this joke work, did have a still-birth baby
elephant. The brilliant minds decided to graft the baby elephant's
trunk onto the missing parts of our Tarzan.
After much therapy (can you tell I'm married to an educator, CC,
Paliative, Rehab?) our Tarzan did take to the surgery and during an
assessment hearing, he was asked how things were between Jane and him.
"Well", he said, "Jane quite likes the result of this surgery, but,
everytime I walk across a lawn, my dick shoves a tuft of grass up my
ass."

Doesn't work in any place where people do not habitually wear closed
shoes. My question: why didn't he use his toes then?

The doctor did.
AND NOW THE REST OF THE STORY
The doctor sent the emergency crew back at the accident scene to
retrieve the missing fingers and reattachment surgery was scheduled.
The hospital staff mixed up the paperwork and mistakenly the patient's
right leg was amputated.
Upon realizing the mistake emergency surgery was again performed only to
have the paperwork fouled up for a second time and the patient's left
leg was amputated.
A law suit was filed but when the case came to trial it was thrown out
of court.
The judge ruled the patient didn't have a leg to stand on.

The doctor probably shouldn't be pointing fingers and just do his job.
