"A what?" the man yelped. "I came in for a knee replacement!"
The nurse shooshed him because his pulse rate was rising. "You have to be careful," she said. "Only 30% of your new heart is made of healthy tissue. I'm afraid the donor was a heavy smoker."
"What about the heart you took out?" the man cried.
"Oh, it was in top health. It will probably make some transplant patient very happy."
Let him hear who has ears to hear.
