Five doctors went duck hunting one day. Before too long, a bird flew
overhead.
The first to react was the GP who raised his shotgun, but then hesitated.
"I'm not quite sure it's a duck," he said, "I think that I will have to get
a second opinion." And of course by that time, the bird was long gone.
Another bird appeared. This time the pediatrician drew a bead on it. He
too, however, was unsure if it was really a duck in his sights and besides,
it might have babies. "I'll have to do some more investigations," he
muttered, as the creature made good its escape.
Next to spy a bird flying was the sharp-eyed psychiatrist. Shotgun
shouldered, he was more certain of his intended prey's identity. "Now, I
know it's a duck, but does it know it's a duck?" The fortunate bird
disappeared while the fellow wrestled with this dilemma.
Finally, a fourth fowl sped past and this time the surgeon's weapon pointed
skywards. BOOM! The surgeon lowered her smoking gun and turned
nonchalantly to the pathologist beside her. "Go see if that was a duck,
will you?"
