Thanks a lot, Mr Ashish, and for the explanation of how of it. Though I guessed that such a wonderful cartoon must have been forwarded and several copies must be floating around, I could not locate it even with Google Image search. Google eludes even seasoned searchers. I have learnt another way to search Google: Ask a group of experts ib Lis-forum! My four year search has ended. Mr Mithun Raj from DRTC also sent me a copy of this picture about an hour ago to whom I have replied individually. Thanks for LIS-FORUM too Vyasamoorthy On 5/5/08, pappuindelhi <pappuindelhi@yahoo.com> wrote:
Padmanabha,
Here goes how i did it:
1 Used google image search.
2 and, picked up exact few lines as mentioned in ur request, i.e.,
"paints them to look like foot ball"
3. Now paste the above query in google image search, and see the results.
4. The first image search (luckily!) is the thing u require.
The exact url is:
http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&q=paints+them+to+look+like+foot+ball&btnG=Search+Images
or
http://shayari.sr-ultimate.com/funny/tutorial-how-to-get-patients-in-your-cl...
Right click on each image, and save them to ur desktop to use.
best regards
Ashish

Dear Friends
Long ago I saw a cartoon.
It contained a series of about 8 pictures. During a night, a person picks up spherical rock/stone pieces, chisels and smoothen them out to the size of a foot ball, paints them to look like foot ball, then stealthily places them at vantage points on the road (say under a well lit lamp post) and then goes home to sleep.
Next morning a queue of men of various ages with broken legs pile up in his clinic. He, the mischief maker, who worked hard in the night is an orthopedic surgeon. "It is a hard life indeed" or some such thing was the caption. I saw it on the net about 2 years ago and have sent it to a couple of "ortho doc" friends. But now I am unable to locate this picture, though I have been trying to get at it for the past many months. Can some avid googler take up this challenge and help?
Here is a case of Image searching where keywords are not of much use. That is the reason why Google encourages searchers to assign tags or keywords to the image search results.
