Medicare Now Covers Scarecrows

(My American Government professor is a really funny guy, and he uses modern examples to explain certain topics. Currently, he is describing Medicare as a good point of having a federal government. He has gotten somewhat off-topic about it, and is discussing what might one do if a bone breaks while working on a farm.)

Professor: “Now, say that the arm breaks like this. What would happen? What would you do?”

(He moves his arm as to where he forms an L-shape with his hand pointing downwards. Various students answer his questions. He then decides on one more question.)

Professor: *still holding his arm in the same position* “Now what kind of job would you expect to do if your arm was like this?”

Me: “Scarecrow!”

(The professor and a few students started laughing.)
