Two physicians boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window

seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, an attorney

got on and took the aisle seat next to the two physicians.

The attorney kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in

when the physician in the window seat said,” I think I”ll get up and get a

coke.”

“No problem,” said the attorney, “I”ll get it for you.”

While he was gone, one of the physicians picked up the attorney”s shoe and

spat in it.

When he returned with the coke, the other physician said, “That looks good,

I think I”ll have one too.”

Again, the attorney obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the

other physician picked up the other shoe and spat in it. The attorney

returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was

landing, the attorney 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?”
