Chuckler:
As she aged, a world famous painter started losing her eyesight.

Her eyesight was finally restored after several surgeries and weeks of therapy. To show her gratitude to her surgeon, the painter surprised him with a large mural in his office depicting eyes in every shade and shape.

When she finished, she held a press conference to unveil her latest work of art. One reporter asked the doctor, "What was your first reaction upon seeing your newly painted office?"

"Thank Goodness I'm not a gynecologist," he said.
