Pirate surgery

Over the holidays, we watched the Grinch movie with Jim Carey. In there, he mentioned gizzards, and this came up over dinner one night... The Boy: Remember that part when the Grinch said "Who wants the gizzard?" The Girl: Yea, that was funny. Mom, is that what you had removed? (The Wife had her gall bladder removed last year). We all cracked up except the Girl who had no idea why we were laughing. This reminded me of those old pirate movies where they threatened to cut out thier victims' gizzards. Come to think of it, her doctor did have an eye patch.
