Grecian, down in Flushed, posted a joke some time ago. I recently mentioned it in a post down there. He states that, "....everyone and their Dog (or cat) knows that that Doctor joke is Tommy Cooper."
I'm curious as to if this is true. Does everyone know the joke is Tommy Cooper? You may know the joke or a variation of it, but as to who it is attributed to?
Quite a simple question and so the answer, yes or no, should also be simple enough. The joke is -
I went to the Doctor today and told him that i'd broken my arm in 3 places...
The Doctor said "In that case, don't go to those places!".

interestingly enough... when i googled the joke - the only result was the pot!!! so i googled this unknown (outside of old blighty) guy's best jokes and this came up:
" I said to the doctor, 'It hurts when I do this' [raises arm]. He said, 'Well, don't do it.'"
so perhaps geeks is confused about the source of doctor jokes...

Never hear of Tommy Cooper, never heard that joke before either. I have heard the joke about hurting when raising the arm though.
Doctor: Nurse, how is that little boy doing, the one who swallowed ten quarters?
Nurse: No change yet.
What do you call a student that got C's all the way through medical school?
Hopefully not your doctor.
What happens when a psychiatrist and a hooker spend the night together?
In the morning each of them says: "200 dollars, please."
Q: Did you hear about the optometrist that fell into his lens grinding machine?
A: He made a spectacle of himself.
A man walks into a psychiatrist's office wearing only Glad Wrap.
The psychiatrist says, "Well...I can clearly see your nuts.

What Jeff said. The doctor joke by TC was the "don't do that then" punchline.
