So...... I see you are awake Mr. Jones !

Yes doctor, how did the operation go ?

The operation went quite well really, though you´ll have have to go back into the OP again, that´s to say: I´ve got some bad news and some good news for you.

First the bad news:
It appears we´ve removed the wrong leg...

Now the good news:
Mr. Williams, in bed No. 6, would like to buy your shoes !

(Afterthought: No point in sueing the hospital either as you won´t have a leg to stand on !)
