You’d never want to make the news with anything that’s reported as ‘the stuff of science fiction.’
According to an AP news report, Paris’ Public Hospital authority says a team of doctors has performed the world’s first simultaneous partial-face and double-hand transplant.
Amazed, we decided to compile a list of reactions to this quite astounding medical breakthrough. So, here they are, in no particular order.
- “Well, if it isn’t my old friend Mr. McGregg — with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg”
Dr Nick Riviera, The Simpsons
- “Hey, would you guys mind giving me a hand?”
Wag Attending French surgeon (in French)
- “Talk to the hand, because the face might not be listening”.
Jerry Springer guest
- “See, that awful movie I made…Face/Off…That was way ahead of it’s time”
John Travolta
- “That ______________could sure use a face transplant”
(Inserted your most maligned celebrity)
- “What is the sound of one-transplanted hand clapping?”
Borscht Belt Comedian
- “This is clearly a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.”
Borscht Belt Comedian II
- “I’ve just seen a face, I can’t forget the time or place.”
Paul McCartney
- “Please, not the face.”
Guy about to get the shit kicked out of him.
- “An about face” / “Cutting off your nose to spite your face”
Two humorists momentarily ponder if this is in bad taste.
Is it wrong to laugh? LOL.
