“You know those chefs who cut up vegetables real fast? I can’t do that”

Chefs on television sometimes are shown using a sharp knife to cut up vegetables very quickly. A joke was posted on X/Twitter by Uncle Bob 🍩 on May 9, 2017:
 
Nurse: What happened to your FINGERS?
Me: You know those chefs who cut up vegetables real fast?
N: Yes?
M: I can’t do that.
 
The joke has been printed on many images.
