Comments:

A UNC grad goes to the doctor and tells him she hurts all over.
"When I touch my arm, ouch, it hurts. When I
touch my leg, ouch, it hurts. When I touch my head, ouch,
it hurts. When I touch my chest, ouch, it hurts."

The doctor just shakes his head and asks, "You're a
UNC grad, aren't you?"

The woman smiles and says, "Why, yes I am. How
did you know?"

The doctor replies, "Because your finger is broken."
