Ok, here's one more example of my sense of humor and how things work here. Doc is telling me about how they are goign to do the surgery, and about taking skin from my shoulder and using it for graft for tongue. My co-worker who was with me at the time for moral support asked if I would have to shave my tongue. Doc's reply (and this is Hong Kong so you have to get accent right) "Oh yes, will have to shave tongue"
At that point, I came up with a question. Doc, could you draw exactly where you are going to take the graft from? He asked why, and I told him because I wanted to have something really rude tatooed there so when I stuck my tongue out...
Luckily that didn't happen, my wife would have killed me.
