You know, I was reading this pathology report to this patient

and it was thundering an lightning outside my window. I read to her that she had an inoperable squamous cell tumor in the floor of her mouth and that there were metastases throughout her body and she may, if she were fortunate, have three months to live but during that time she was going to suffer horrifically increasing pain for which we could do absolutely nothing.

Actually, she was fine: the weather outside caused me to say the above.

Try "I read her that she had an inoperable airplane on the floor of her mouth and we would therefore have to amputate her leg"
