BUSINESS PARTNERS

A proctologist and a psychiatrist who were friends decided they wanted
to join forces and open their own clinic.

They agreed to a business name that read "Dr. Jones and Dr. Smith,
Psychiatry and Proctology," but the local medical council was unhappy
with this.

So the distinguished colleagues changed this to "Hysterias and
Posteriors," but, alas, this also did not impress the council.

The two doctors then thought of "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids" which the
council found totally unacceptable.

They then offered "Catatonics and High Colonics," which was rejected, as
was their next attempt, "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives."

So they tried, "Minds and Behinds," which the council also rejected.

Then "Lost Souls and Arse Holes" -- rejected -- followed by another try
with "Analysis and Anal Cysts" -- again rejected -- then "Nuts and
Butts" -- rejected -- as were "Freaks and Cheeks," and "Loons and
Moons."

Finally, frustrated and at wits end, they gave it a last-ditch effort
which, to their surprise, the medical council finally approved:

"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones - Odds and Ends."
