Joke 19

Four surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything is numbered. The second surgeon responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded." The third surgeon says, "No, I really think the file clerks are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order." But the fourth surgeon shouted, "You're all wrong. Ombudsmen are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and ass are interchangeable."

Joke 22

As he passed sulphurous pits and shrieking sinners, he saw a man he recognized as an ombudsman snuggling up to a beautiful woman. 'That's unfair!' he cried. 'I have to roast for all eternity, and that ombudsman gets to spend it with a beautiful woman.' 'Shut up,' barked the devil, jabbing the man with his pitchfork.' Who are you to question that woman's punishment?
