A surgeon in scrubs with a head-mounted light and glasses leans over a patient on an operating table, holding surgical instruments. An IV bag hangs nearby. A hand-lettered sign reading "NOT MAL PRACTICE" rests on the patient's open torso. Caption: "That ought to throw them off the track of the missing spine." Votey: a close-up of the surgeon's face saying, "I'll just put a paper towel roll in there." The joke: a malpracticing surgeon has lost the patient's spine and crudely covers it up, planning to substitute a paper towel roll and label the scene as definitely-not-malpractice.
