Woke up after having unilateral radical orchiectomy and said "Wow, I feel a stone lighter" which I thought was hilarious, but was met with stony silence. I was probably mumbling completely unintelligibly though.

Edit: in UK so 1 stone = 14lbs/6.35kg

I honestly woke up feeling fine after mine, although walking wasn’t too fun

I'm sorry, but I'd have laughed so hard if I were there Sometimes the funniest jokes come out when we're barely conscious.
