    who they are i have no idea but "they" say everybody has at least one operation in life.

    i had a toe nail removed in January and am going back in February to get the rest of it removed, very small operation but its all i got.

    what operations and how many of them have you had in life ?

    A friend of mine went to Thailand for an operation once. He seemed fine going out. And sure wasn't she fine when she came back.

    That was a very severe measure to be taking!

    Would never be inclined to pay too much heed to statistics. Besides when they say everybody has an operation in their life I'm sure it is mean't averaged out. For example if one person has had three operations in their life the next two people would not have any (statistically of course). Had no operations myself yet. A big fu$ker of a cyst appeared from nowhere on the side of my head a few years back, just in front of my hairline. Was suppose to have it removed with some form of cosmetic surgery but a day or two before operation was due to take place the fu$ker disappeared!

    No operations and never broke a bone/twisted an ankle/was so sick or injured that required medical care in 25 years. I'm always getting bruised though, i'm very clumsy!

    Gromits in, adanoids out.

    Might need another one soon, if I can stop being embarrassed about going to the doctors

    Got an operation on my penis. They say it was too big.

    The best part is there's a slight bit of truth behind it. ;)
