There was this world famous muralist. In the prime of his career, he started losing his eyesight.
Fearful that he might lose his life as a painter, he went to see the best eye surgeon in the world.
After long hours of delicate eye surgery and months of therapy, his eyesight was restored.
The painter was so grateful that he decided to show his gratitude by repainting the doctor's office.
Part of his work included painting a beautifully realistic gigantic eye on one wall.
When he had finished his work, he held a press conference to unveil his latest work of art entitled, "The Doctor's Office."

To this, the eye doctor responded, "I said to myself 'Thank God I'm not a proctologist.'"
