I point to the left hip. With a magic marker, he writes on it "This side up."

Cataract operation.
When I was on the happy stuff, he came in, leaned over me, and said "I always like to say a prayer for the success of this operation."

I'm an atheist.
What the hell are you gonna say at that point?
I'd rather count on his expertise than a call on an imaginary being for a good outcome.

And they played hymns in the OR.
And the nurses sang along.
