At the Hospital

[Paolo]

Two little boys are at the hospital, each laying on a gurney just outside the OR prep room doors waiting. The first boy says to the other, "What are you in for?"

"I have to have my tonsils and adenoids out," he says in a scared voice.

The first boy laughs. "Oh, I had that done when I was like four or five. Easy. You get all this attention, ice cream, Jello...it's easy. Don't worry. Only bad thing is you can't talk for a couple days, but everyone feels sorry for you."

"Thanks," says the boy, feeling much better now. "What are YOU in for?"

The first boy sort of blushes and says, "I have to have a circumcision."

The tonsil boy turns white and his jaw drops. "Oh, shit, man! They did that to me when I was born and I couldn't walk for a year!"
