First-year
students at Texas A&M's Vet school were attending
their first anatomy class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around

pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the dead cow,
withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he
told his students.

students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes. But eventually
took turns sticking a finger in the anal opening of the dead cow and
sucking on it.

everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, "The second most
important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on
my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life's tough, it's even
