An Israeli doctor says: "In Israel, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's liver put them on another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work."

The German doctor says: "That's nothing,
in Germany we take part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."

The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."

The Nigerian doctor laughs: "You all are behind us. Two years ago, we took a man with no brains, no heart, and no liver and made him President.

Now, the whole country is looking for work!"

No 1, 2, and 4 aren't strange, neither do they sound absurd. But your no. 3 is horse-shit! Absolute nonsense.

Speak like that at your own peril.

5. One Morning I Shot An Elephant In My Pajamas.
How He Got Into My Pajamas, I’ll Never Know.

Groucho Marx came up with this. How he got into my pajamas I’ll never know.
This is a great example of how a sentence can completely change its meaning based on how we group the words together in our mind.
I don't understand this one. I really do hope it's not what I'm thinking tho.

I think its literal. Prolly the elephant somehow 'wore' his pajamas. So he shot it 'wearing' his pajamas. Literally of course grin

The 'sea shells' tongue twister is a lot harder than the Peter piper one,I think.
