An elderly man was on the operating table, about to be operated on by his son, a famous surgeon. Just before they put him under, he asked to speak to his son:
“Don’t be nervous, boy, just do your best and just remember, if it doesn’t go well, if something happens to me your mother is going to come and live with you and your family.”
