When a wealthy businessman choked on a sharp fish bone in a restaurant, he was fortunate that a doctor was seated at a nearby table. Springing into action, the doctor skilfully removed the bone and saved the businessman's life.
Recovering slowly, he thanked the doctor profusely and offered to pay him. "Just name your fee," he croaked gratefully.
The doctor thought for a moment and said: Okay. "How about half of what you would have offered when the bone was still stuck in your throat?"

"Says who?"
"I read it in Wikipedia."

A new study finds that when it comes to spending money, the pharmaceutical industry places more emphasis on advertising than it does on research and development of new therapies.
You know what the drug companies' ads used to say: Today's medicines pay for tomorrow's politicians, er advertisements.

Purdue University students are making some extra cash sniffing manure for science. So far they've discovered it smells better than a frat house after a party.
Studies show that just because you're in the hospital doesn't mean you'll quickly get treated if your heart stops beating. About one-third of patients don't get a potentially live-saving shock within the recommended two minutes - they just give you the bill up front.
