I’ll remove his <x> for <n> dollars!
[“Operation” board game TV commercial; <x> = “spare rib”; <n> = “two hundred”]
There is probably nothing more funnier on this big blue marble of hilarity than medical malpractice. Doctors-in-training can get a piece of the big leagues by playing the “Operation” boad game. Maybe your opponent won’t file a report with the board about your patient’s briefly-lit bright red nose. Maybe next time you won’t attempt the tricky removal of a “tennis elbow” after three chocolate martinis.
– Jeff Stendec (1995)
