my desk calendar   (random re me)

i have the Dave Barry 2003 desk calendar on my desk at work. i tear off a page every business day, and two on mondays. while i really enjoy reading Dave Barry's longer humor pieces, the small amount of text that fits on a desk calendar page doesn't really give him enough time to build up his normal repertoire of comic backreferences. but sometimes, there is one that really makes me laugh. today was one of those days:

Now the appendix should be right under the... What? No, that's the liver. Don't take THAT out, ha ha! Oh, you did? Whoops! Now listen very, very carefully..."
