   The sheep joke that immediately springs to my mind is both racist and   
   tasteless, so I'll give you a different joke.   
      
   A medico, an engineer, and a lawyer were arguing over which was the   
   oldest profession.   
      
   "The Bible tells us that God took one of Adam's ribs to make a woman",   
   said the doctor. "That's a medical procedure."   
      
   "Yes", said the engineer. "But before that, God produced order out of   
   chaos. That's an engineering job."   
      
   "Ah", said the lawyer. "But who produced the chaos?"
