A friend of mine had a liver transplant over in a Pittsburgh hospital. The day after the hospital the surgeon came in for a visit.

How does your side feel, the surgeon asked.

My side feels pretty good, but my throat really hurts.

Let me see the dressing on your side, the surgeon said.

But Doc, my throat. Whats wrong with it? asked my friend.

Well, I might as well tell you. said the surgeon. Yours was a special operation watched by many students in a big amphitheater. The two hour operation went perfectly. The students were so impressed they all stood up and applauded. The applause went on so long, I decided to take out your tonsils for an encore.
