Stories of medical students playing similar stunts with cadaver organs
abound. Tricks like pulling them out at inopportune moments or
mailing them to friends are well-known. All these stories are
FOAF-style, but they are widely-told and believed in the medical
profession. In "The Making of a Woman Surgeon", the author (I forget
her name - Elizabeth Somebody) describes the first day of medical
school, in which they are all informed that students have done such
things in the past and that anyone who does so at that school will be
expelled. Obviously somebody believes the tale.
A friend of mine at another medical school told me they were merely
lectured about stealing surgical gowns.

There is a story that is probably as old as butcher shops involving a
butcher, a sausage and an open fly. The butcher unbuttons (or unzips)
his fly just enough to allow a sausage to peek out through the
opening. When a customer delicately calls his attention to the fact,
he grumbles "Is that thing sticking out AGAIN?", walks over to the
chopping block, and... you can figure out the rest, i'm sure.

I searched the FAQ, and it's not there. On the other hand, it's not
exactly new, either.
: I only heard it from one source, so it may not be a UL, but it was told

Yep, it sure sounds like an urban legend.

This is very similar to "The Butcher's Prank," in JHB's _The Baby Train_.
In that one, a butcher puts a weiner in his pants with a couple of inches
sticking out of his fly. A friend comes in and tells him to check his
pants. The butcher exclaims, "Are you misbehaving again?" He grabs a
cleaver, whacks off the weiner, and throws it on the floor. The friend
has a heart attack and dies; his widow sues the butcher and gets some
megaboss number of dollars.
The major difference between this story and the med student version is
that in this one the prank backfires.

Forgive me for not posting a UL, but a similar prank happened at my
fraternity. We had hot dogs for lunch, and one brother who was a waiter
for that day took a hot dog and placed it so that it was hanging out of
his fly. He then went about his waiter duties with it hanging out. Some
brothers chuckled, some called him sick, but when he passed by the house
mascot, the dog lunged up and ate the hot dog.
Pandemonium ensued.

On the subject of medic antics, I used to share a corridor with a medic who
confessed to leaving severed fingers on buses running between campus and
the town. Ho ho ho !

Er, yes, exactly the same one. When I went to an interview at a
Northern UK University--I think Sheffield-- in 1975, some young joker
told me the same story, except that the Med stud (?) joined a noisy
demonstration outside, or something, and a passing policeman went
through his "Now get that out of my sight, Sonny" routine, and the Med
Stud rips off the offending organ, throws it in the gutter and sprints
off, leaving the policeman fainted in the gutter.
