New Laywer Joke Prelude: From the Yahoo thread on Theragenics. The company's stock has been beaten down recently, partly due to a pile of the usual law suits that emerge whenever a stock starts going down. Two participants are technical consultants on the nuclear machines - cyclotrons, linear accelerators, etc..... they determinedly respond only to technical questions which is their field of expertise. _______ Finally, a technical question!! by: Therapy_Dr message # 5700 of 5731 We like responding to technical questions, and this one gave us quite some challenging entertainment. "How many lawyers will fit into a cyclotron?" We took the volume of the vacuum tank on the IBA machine in use by Theragenics, and divided it by the volume of the average man (6'1", 185 lbs) and came up with 3.9 attorneys per cyclotron. TGX has seven fully functional machines, so if we use them all, we can eliminate 27 attorneys. We then calculated another idea. Suppose we give the lawyers an enema before placing them into the machine? If we do that, each attorney occupies approximately the volume of a matchbox, enabling us to place every lawyer in the US into fewer than two cyclotrons, thereby allowing continued Pd-103 production on the remaining machines. The problem of disposal for these highly contaminated machines filled with dead lawyers arises because even the toxic waste dumps won't take lawyers. Therapy_Dr & Dr-D3
