The Heart Surgeon

A SMALL boy named Wally lived in Punchbowl, a suburb in South Western Sydney. None of his classmates liked him cause of his stupidity, especially his teacher, who was always yelling at him, “You are driving me mad, Wally.”

One day Wally’s mum came to school to check on how he was doing. The teacher told his mum honestly, that her son is simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and even she had never seen such a dumb boy in her entire teaching career. The mum was shocked at the feedback and withdrew her son from the school and even moved out of Sydney, north to Newcastle.

25 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an incurable cardio disease. All the doctors strongly advised her to have heart surgery which only one surgeon could perform. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was successful.

When she opened her eyes after the surgery she saw a handsome doctor smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something but eventually died. The doctor was shocked and was trying to work out what went wrong when he turned around he saw that our friend Wally, working as a cleaner in the clinic, had unplugged the oxygen equipment to connect his Hoover!

Don’t tell me you thought that Wally became a heart surgeon?
