Postcard from internship

So the other night, I'm interviewing this vet with no legs. At some point, it seemed reasonable to ask about it.

Me: Sir, I notice that both your legs have been amputated above the knees. What happened to your legs?

Him: <flinging the sheet aside, inspecting his well-healed stumps with some surprise> I don't know, Doc. Couldn't really tell you. I don't remember.

You can't make this stuff up.
