Wink Italian Docs Cancer research fundraiser...
I KNOW I am supposed to put this post else
where....BUT, I didn't want one of you to miss seeing this. It 's for REAL!

WOW!....
You'll never look at your doctors the same way again:

Chest hair, biceps and boxer shorts: Doctors at a cancer research institute in Naples have posed half-naked for a pin-up calendar. Research in Italy is burdened by bureaucracy and funding shortages. It is hoped that this private initiative will re-animate patrons.

I am glad y'all are laughing too! You have to admit its pretty good of them to "bare themselves" in the name of science!
The next time you encounter a Doc who seems a bit "full of himself" just picture these guys/gals. Near nudity is a great way to level the playing field...

Glad to make you smile!
