Two attorneys boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window
seat,
the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, a physician got
on
and took the aisle seat next to the two attorneys.
The physician kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in
when the attorney in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get
a
coke."
"No problem," said the physician, "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, one of the attorneys picked up the physician's shoe
and spat in it. When he returned with the coke, the other attorney said,
"That looks good, I think I'll have one too." Again, the physician
obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other attorney
picked up the other shoe and spat in it.
The Physician returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As
the plane was landing, the Physician slipped his feet into his shoes and
knew immediately what had happened.
"How long must this go on?" he asked. "This fighting between our
professions? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and
pissing in cokes?"
