And then there was the one about the butchers apprentice who was getting a constant whistling sound in his ear while in work. One day he was out the back slicing ham, he slipped, his head fell into the slicer and his ear was sliced off. The butcher ran in and brought the lad and his ear to the hospital, but unbeknownst to all the butcher had picked up an old pigs ear instead of the lads real ear.
The none the wiser surgeon sewed the pigs ear on to the young apprentice, for as we all know, pigs and humans have very similar ears. When the apprentice started back in work a few weeks later, the butcher asked him how was his ear and was he still getting the whistling sound. The apprentice said no, it was gone, but he was getting a bit of crackling.
