The professor gave a verbal blasting to the junior resident who had committed some mistake. As the junior resident was leaving, the professor muttered to himself, “The same to you”.

The Head of the department called him and said, “Listen son, if you will give up alcohol and start concentrating on your work, you can be soon promoted to the post of associate professorship and one day you may even become a professor like me.”
The consultant replied, “Sir, when I drink, I feel like the Director of this hospital. Then why should I bother about becoming something as small as a professor.”

“About how I operate so well?” asked the junior consultant.
“No. I wonder why you operate at all.”
