Nature’s Way of Compensating

A Doctor was explaining to a Irishman how nature sometimes compensates for a persons deficiencies.

“For example,” he told him, “If a man is deaf, he may have keener sight, and if a man is blind, he may have a keen sense of smell.”

“I think I see what you mean,” said the Paddy, “I’ve often noticed that if a man has one short leg, then the other one is always longer.”
