    Default The Ballad of Tyrone

    A friend of mine from Panama sent me this gem:
    Tyrone was having trouble in school. His teacher was always yelling at him, "You're driving me crazy, Tyrone Can't you learn anything?"

    One day, Tyrone's mother came to school to see how he was doing. The
    teacher told her honestly that her son was simply a disaster, getting
    very low marks, and that she had never had such an unmotivated and
    ignorant boy in her entire teaching career. Tyrone's mom, shocked at
    the feedback, withdrew her son from school and moved out of Detroit, relocating to Cleveland.

    25 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with irreversible cardiac
    disease. Her doctors all strongly advised her to have open heart
    surgery, which only one surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic could perform.

    Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation,
    which was remarkably successful.

    When she opened her eyes after the surgery she saw the handsome young
    doctor who headed her surgical team smiling down at her. She wanted to
    thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she
    raised her hand, trying to tell him something, but quickly died.

    The doctor was shocked, wondering what went wrong so suddenly. When
    the doctor turned around to leave the room, he saw Tyrone, now a
    janitor at the Clinic, had unplugged the life-support equipment in
    order to plug in his vacuum cleaner.

    ...If you thought that Tyrone had become a heart-surgeon, there is a high
    likelihood that you voted for Hillary.

    I was laughing at the title before I even read it. I think the name "Tyrone" was the dead give-away
