The patient was recovering after an operation. His friend came to visit him and asked how he was getting along.

 

"Well," the patient began, "after my first operation they had to cut me open again. The doctor had to take out the sponge¹ left in me." "But you got over it all right?"

 

"Oh, yes. Only I had another operation yesterday. They found that they had operated on the wrong part."

 

"Thank God. You're all right now, though," the friend said encouragingly. 

 

At that time the doctor came in saying, "Has anyone seen my hat around here? I left it somewhere yesterday."

 

一位病人做完一个手术回到病房，他的朋友来看望他并问他感觉怎么样。

 

“哎，”这位病人说，“第一次手术后他们又给我开了一刀，因为医生要取出忘在我体内的纱布.”“但是你挺过来了？”

 

“噢，是的，只是他们昨天又给我开了一刀，因为他们发现开刀开错了地方。”

 

“感谢上帝，你现在总算没事了 。”朋友安慰他说。

 

正在这时医生进来说：“谁在这儿看见我的帽子了？我昨天把它忘在什么地方了。”
