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.
