When a very prestigious cardiologist died, the hospital he had worked for most of his entire life prepared an elaborate funeral program.

A huge heart, fully adorned with flowers, served as the background behind the casket during the service, as kins, friends, and doctors and other staff of the said hospital, sat in awe. 

After the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket was rolled inside, amidst the stifled cries of relatives and mourners.

At that point, one of the mourners burst into a hearty laughter. Realizing that all eyes were on him, he said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I was just wondering what my own funeral program will be....you see, I'm a gynecologist."
