Sign of the Times in California

This morning my inbox had three emails from friends in California. They do not know each other. Each was a variation of an old joke about politicians - where various reconstructive surgeons were describing their hardest cases. The final surgeon argues that politicians are the easiest to reconstruct because they have "no brain, no heart, no guts, no spine and the head and butt are interchangeable." What was interesting is that among these three Californians - the order of the parts was different and they are of fairly widely distinct political philosophies. I wonder how many times that joke was emailed in California in the last ten days.
