Dr. Weiss had just finished a particularly exhausting week when he left the hospital Friday night. He decided to stop off at Ole McNello's Pub for a few beers. He walked in and pulled up a stool. He ordered a beer and turned to watch the band.  

The bartender handed him his beer and said "That will be 15 dollars sir" to which Weiss replied "But that guy only paid 2 dollars". The bartender said "Yes but he is unemployed at the moment and you are a doctor. You can afford it. I am also going to have to ask you to pick up the tab for Mr. Snipps at the end of the bar. He is a landscaper and makes a lot less money than you do."  

Dr. Weiss exclaimed "This is ridiculous!!!! I will not pay that guys tab!" to which the bartender replied "You have to. It is the law in this state that those who make the largest salaries must help pay for things that people who make the least want. That 157 dollar bar tab would put a serious strain on Mr. Snipp's budget, but to you it is pocket change. I'm sure you understand." 

The following Monday Dr. Weiss quit his job and went into landscaping. A week later Mrs. Funerello, a patient of Dr. Weiss, passed away because her new doctor made a mistake with her medication. Everyone at the funeral was outraged that the hospital had hired such an incompetent doctor. Apparently he was far less qualified than Dr. Weiss and took the job for much less money.

The funeral was not all bad though. Everyone was very impressed by the immaculate condition of her lawn. LOL
