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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
