Heart surgery joke...

[dwfreck]

Now that I'm on the upcoming surgery list, I've been informing various family members, and the Thanksgiving weekend was a great opportunity to tell several people at the same time in person and/or over the phone (since I knew where they'd be). We were at my in-laws' house and my wife's aunt (who we share a love of downhill skiing with) called. I asked to speak to her directly so I could tell her.

I told her I was going to have open heart surgery and she replied, completely deadpan, "Why, are they going in to search for it?" I completely cracked up. It was just what I needed, so I thought I'd share...

Sometimes the simple things are what it takes.

Dale,
"Searching for it" at least implies that she thinks you might have one!!!

Back in my sales management days in the car business I had a salesman who swore that I was a "heartless b-----d"

Now I have proof that I'm not !

Guess everyone else has encountered the same:

When I've mentioned to friends and even strangers that I've had OHS, they say, "Well, bless your heart!" as a routine remark.

My response: "Please do!" Then they look startled -- and laugh.
