Zonker on TV: That'll have to be the last question, boys! I have to get back and hit the books! Reporter: So said lottery winner Zonker Harris this morning as he returned to classes here at the academically grueling Baby Doc College of Physicians. $23 million just doesn't seem to have changed this unaffected young man and his dream of becoming a doctor. Zonker: Yo, babe! I'll give you ten grand to take my bio-chem exam! Student: Okay.

It’s true. Hasn’t changed him a bit. Except that now he can afford to act on his whims.

Just remember, when doctor’s say that they’re practicing medicine, that’s exactly what they’re doing – practicing ! ( And they bury their mistakes. )

I remember a joke that was told by the nurses on “ER”.What do they call the student who was last in his class at Medical School? Doctor.

Strictly speaking, that’s “graduated last in his class”.The real last in his class probably failed.

I hope he picked a smart student to give that 10 grand to. He should have been more specific….“and you must get me a high grade on said exam”.

Zonker’s the same person he ever was, just without the financial limitations he formerly faced..Showing his true colors..You never really know what a person would do until he has the power TO do it.(Under the recognized quantum mechanical discovery that while you may know probabilities, you don’t know for certain until you observe.)
