The Reunion
A group of doctors gathered at a rural resort for their 20 year out reunion. Each had chosen a different career path - there was a GP, a pathologist, a surgeon, a physician and a psychiatrist all present. They all decided to go duck shooting.
The ranger said to them - "Duck shooting can very dangerous for the inexperienced. For that reason, I am going to give you only one gun, which you can share. And remember, you may only shoot ducks, and no other birds. Only ducks are in season"
The GP held the gun first. A flock of birds flew overhead. "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" they all shouted. The GP said "They could be ducks, but then again, I'm not too sure. I think I should ask someone else to be on the safe side". By this time the flock had past.
The physician took the gun. Again a flock of birds flew overhead. "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" they all shouted. The physician said "Well, they look like ducks. They have web feet which are a common duck characteristic, and bills that are rather duck-like, and they have pathognomic feathers. Their markings are very familiar, and the formation they are flying in is .......". But by this time the ducks were long gone.
The psychiatrist took the gun, and again a flock flew overhead. "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" they all shouted. The psychiatrist said "These appear on the surface to be ducks. But then again, they may be another species that have adopted a ducklike persona, or they may be ducks but consider themselves to be rightfully assigned to another species. I could not shoot at them".
By this time the surgeon was disgusted. He snatched the gun from the psychiatrist and shot wildly at a flock of birds that could just be made out in the distance. Three fell from the sky.
"Now", he said to the pathologist, "Go and tell me if they are ducks!"
