Gift of the Magi

A doctor goes up to another doctor and whispers something into his ear. The doctor looks down at his patient with an exclamation point. "Don't punish yourself this way, Doctor. Anyone can make a mistake. Appendectomy does sound an awful lot like tonsillectomy," the one doctor says to the other doctor now crying in the corner.
January 19, 1966
At least you took out another useless organ and weren't performing open heart surgery. That would be terrible.

The appendectomy is going to be comped, right? I don't feel insurance would cover it since it's a mistake.

Gladys and Mother Gargle are sitting at a table with two cups of coffee. "I know his heart is in the right place, but whenever Brutus buys me clothes as a gift, the size is too small!" Gladys says. "There's a simple solution to that...Just tell him to buy you a gift card," Mother Gargle suggests. "I tried that. He buys gift cards in too small a size as well, if you catch my drift."
Why is Brutus just getting Gladys clothes? I'm not knocking a nice pair of pants or whatever, but where's the imagination? I absolutely suck at buying gifts, but I can be somewhat thoughtful.
