I've never heard this but on seeing it I instantly shouted guts!

Go on, Billy, cut him! Or ain't you got the fruit and nuts?

Surgeon: I have some bad news, Mr Chalmers. I'm afraid you have an advanced adenocarcinoma on your lower duodenal wall. We're going to have perform a double-capsule laparotomy with view to procedural anastomosis resection.

Patient: ...

Surgeon: That's right. We have to operate on your fruit and nuts.

(Sorry.)

It was new to me, but it's a goody. You wonder whether the surgeon will cut it back to the first word alone and say we have to operate on your fruit.

Probably better than: We have to operate on your nuts. :-?:lol:


(By the way, Tdol, I love that there's a Cockney rhyming slang section on the forum. You've really got a great website here. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.)
