first do no harm

Ethic #1 of the medical ethics that students are taught in medical school is "first do no harm". But what about other professions and occupations?

  • For Lawyers: "first, tell no lies... or listen to any".
  • Architects: "first, let it not fall down... without insurance".
  • Politicians: "first, kiss no more babies... moving forward".
  • Bureaucrats: "first, uncover your ass... but wipe it first".
  • Priests: "first, stay away from children; second, stay away from children; third, stay away from children".

Any others? Send 'em in, I'll whack 'em up.

I don't have any to add, but I'm getting a great chuckle out of these.

Ha, ha, ha..I like the priest one

For Children: First, don't dream; second, stay away from young

For young: First, don't aspire; second, stay away from old

For Old: First, don't lament; second, stay away from children

Alice, thanks for stopping by --- comment or not. Always good to hear from you.

Shubhajit, yours are pretty funny -- reminds me of that other riddle about what goes on four legs, two legs then three legs. Thanks for your comment.

Another juicy one, haha. How about this credo for prophets?

"First, get your timeline unstraightened... then switch to archiving, it's less risky!"
