from a 1946 newspaper

After a shipwreck, a doctor, a preacher and a lawyer found themselves in a row-boat without oars.

They came in sight of an island, but their only hope of landing was for someone to go over the side

through the shark-infested sea and tow the boat to land. Lots were drawn, and it fell to the lawyer.

When he slipped over the side the sharks divided, and made an avenue for him.

“An answer to prayer,†said the parson.

“No, no, just professional courtesy,†commented the doctor.
