Performing an Appendectomy

Five-year-old Becky answered the door when the census taker came by. She
told the census taker that her daddy was a doctor and wasn't home
because he was performing an appendectomy.

"My," said the census taker, "that sure is a big word for such a little
girl. Do you know what it means?"

"Sure do! Fifteen hundred bucks, and that doesn't even include the
anesthesiologist!"
