A father and son are involved in an accident whilst travelling in a car. The father is pronounced dead at the scene but the son is alive but injured. He is rushed to hospital and in to the operating theatre. The surgeon goes to start operating but then says 'I cannot operate on him, he is my son'.

How?

Correct. Well done.

Watched a programme about the last woman hanged in Britain and a criminologist posed this question to the presenter of the programme. It had us baffled. He also showed video of him asking people this quaetion in the street again bafflement.

His point was that most people associate surgeons with males in the same way that they associate murderers with males.
