The guy who lives next door is a kind of doctor called an orthosomething specialist. I see him pottering around in his garden on weekends. He says gardening helps him unwind. If he can unwind with gardening on weekends why can't the gardener do brain surgery on weekends to unwind?

I think those gardners who are interested in surgery should be allowed but on dead animals.

If you think that is a good idea then I think some gardener has already been messing with your head

Reminds me of the story about a kid who when asked to pick the relaxing activity from two photos - one of a man building a house, and the other of a man reading a book - picked the one of a man building a house.
It is all a matter of perspective - the kid's father was a scholar, who spent his working life reading books, and did house renovations for relaxation.
