New Heart
JOKE OF THE WEEK, 27 Nov 2023
Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service
A patient urgently needed a heart transplant. The doctor told him,
“You are very lucky, we happen to have three hearts available today: one from a 20-year-old tennis player, another from a 40-year-old golf player, and the other from an 80-year-old Republican senator. Which one do you choose?”
The patient said,
“I’ll take the Republican senator’s heart.”
The doctor was puzzled and asked why. The patient replied,
“Oh, I am sure it has never been used.”
