and — (Laughter) — the nurse kind of had a hysterical laugh, and I'm turning my head trying to see everybody, and I had this weird memory of being in college and raising, raising money for the flood victims of Bangladesh, and then I look over and my anesthesiologist is clamping the mask on me, and I think, "He looks Bangladeshi," — (Laughter) — and I just have those two facts, and I just think, "This could work somehow." (Laughter) And then I go out, and they work on me for the rest of the night, and I needed about 40 units of blood to keep me there while they did their work, and the surgeon took out about a third of my intestines, my cecum, organs I didn't know that I had, and he later told me one of the last things he did while he was in there was to remove my appendix for me, which I thought was great, you know, just a little tidy thing there at the end. (Laughter) And I came to in the morning.
(Risos) A enfermeira deu um risinho histérico. Virei a cabeça a tentar ver toda a gente e tive a recordação estranha de estar na faculdade a angariar dinheiro para as vítimas das cheias do Bangladeche. Depois, olhei para o anestesista que estava a colocar-me a máscara  e pensei: "Ele parece ser do Bangladeche". Juntei aqueles dois factos e pensei: "Pode ser que isto funcione". (Risos) Depois, perdi a consciência. Eles trabalharam em mim durante o resto da noite. Precisei de 40 unidades de sangue para me manterem vivo enquanto faziam esse trabalho. O cirurgião retirou um terço dos meus intestinos, o ceco, órgãos que eu nem sabia que tinha. Mais tarde, disse-me que uma das últimas coisas que fez foi remover o meu apêndice, o que eu achei ótimo, era apenas aquela coisinha ali na ponta. (Risos) Voltei a mim de manhã.
