       Here is an alternative question for the doctoral exams.

       MEDICINE (for the M.D. degree):

       On the table before you are the following:

          - A paring knife.

          - A bottle opener.

          - A needle and thread.

          - A leather belt.

          - A bottle of whiskey.

       Remove your appendix.  Take careful notes on  the  procedure
       in  order  to  cultivate the appropriate level of detachment
       necessary to survive in medicine.

       If you no longer have your appendix, you may do one  of  the
       following:

          - Do your own vasectomy. [Men only!]

          - Remove your spleen.

          - Remove one of your kidneys.

       Proctors will be around periodically to check your work  for
       neatness and originality.
