Just as a surgeon was finishing up an operation

Just as a surgeon was finishing up an operation

and was about to close, the patient awakes,

sits up, and demands to know what is going on.
“I’m about to close,” the surgeon says.

The patient grabs the surgeon’s hand and says,


“I’m not going to let you do that!

I’ll close my own incision!”


The doctor hands him the needle and thread and says,
“Suture self.”
