Prior to my operation this morning [1] I was placed in a small ante-chamber with a nun.
Apparently she had been asked if she minded if I sat with her prior to her own "procedure". She didn't so I could hardly object.
But what does one say to a nun?
I asked her what she thought of Gabriel Faure's Opus 48?
She'd never heard of it.
(She'd never heard of it!!!)
I told her that I, myself, had, sadly, never been blessed with faith but was keen to get involved purely from a musical perspective.
She told me she had been retired since 1992.
This was an opportunity not to be missed.
I asked her if, when filling in forms, she entered Occupation as "None". Or still "Nun". It was a very difficult joke to get over as I was effectively saying the same word twice. It's a lot easier when you write it down.
She told me she had been retired since 1992.
The conversation seemed to dry up then and I was relieved to be called into theatre. The surgeon shone a bright light on it and said it doesn't look much, do you mind if we just scrape it off?
I actually did mind but you can hardly argue with these Billy Bigshots.
[1] a simple limb removal, if you must know

a limb? What a funny word that is. Appendage also very funny. I have to go to the dermatologydepartment next week. They want to scrape something off one of my appendages. They won't be able to, of course.
I might make this site my parasitic blog. Go everton by the way! Your lot can't even beat a club that can't pay it's players.
You're certainly welcome to post up a few pics. I might help other readers with problematic penile warts. It may even help drive some of the porn traffic my way.
