A biologist had been working on a remote research project in the Amazon jungle. Upon his return to the States, he came down with a terrible illness. After his health had deteriorated, his wife took him to a doctor who specialized in strange jungle diseases. The doctor gave him a complete examination and a series of tests. After receiving the results of the tests, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He told the young biologist’s wife, “Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don’t do the following, your husband will surely die.” “Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don’t burden him with chores, and generally do anything he asks. Don’t discuss your problems with him, as it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim. ” If you can do this for the next 10 months or so, I think your husband will regain his health completely. Otherwise…….well… He’ll probably die”On the way home, the husband asked his wife. “What did the doctor say?” she replied. “Honey…..he says you’re probably going to die.”

An old mountain man in Arkansas was sick and bedridden. He had not been outdoors for a few weeks and had a sharp craving for a meal of wild squirrel. He summoned his half-idiot son into the room and instructed him to go squirrel hunting and bring him back a squirrel or two. He also told his son to be very careful not to shoot the squirrel in the head as he would need its brains later to “tan” the squirrel’s pelt. (Tanning a skin using the animal’s brains is a common practice in certain areas, it generally takes about one brain to tan one skin).The idiot son spent most of the day searching the woods for tree squirrels, but was not having any luck. Finally, high up in a sweet-gum tree, he spotted a squirrel’s head sticking out from a hole. He remembered his Pa’s admonitions to save the brains. After deciding he may not have another chance, he shot it in the head, thus ruining the brains. r
His sick Pa was upset, “I can’t tan that skin without no brains!” he said, “Now what am I a gonna do?” Thinking quickly, he remembered that up on the river there were 3 fisheries biologists doing some field work.”Well, we’re only tanning one squirrel skin, walk up the river and shoot one of them dang fish biologists and I’ll use his brains to tan the skin,” he told the son. The son did as he was told and soon returned with the prize. As it turned out, the brain wasn’t large enough and the boy was upset as he would have to make another trip to harvest the other two biologist’s brains.”Look on the bright side, boy”, the old man told him, “Two more ought to be just enough. We’d have been in real trouble if they was BOTANISTS!”
