An animal orthodontist who practiced in Iowa was called one day by a frantic
farmer in Australia. "HELP sir!" he cried, "I just got braces and
orthodontic
equipment for 100 of my sheep, and the local sheep orthodontist just DIED!
I need a responsible animal dentist to come care for my flock!"
The orthodontist was moved, and a good price was offered, so he promptly
flew to Australia for what he figured would be a week or two of work.
But he found that he was entirely unfamiliar with the orthodontic
equipment the sheep had been given, and he spent a whole 6 months
in Australia trying to figure out the foreign braces. When at last
he boarded a plane for home, after half a year of frustrating work,
he sighed with happiness. "At last", he said,"I'll be seeing ewes
in all the old familiar braces!"
