I just successfully pulled-off the 'key to comedy' joke around my surgery.

As I felt the anaesthetic starting to kick in I said, ‘I have a joke’. 'Better be quick!’ The anaesthetist said. 'Do you know what the key to comedy is?’ Then I smiled and passed out.

When I woke up a couple of hours later I asked the nurse to tell the anaesthetist my message: 'timing’.

I was a bit worried I just dreamed the first part but I checked with the doc and they said they got it all :)
