 was it in bad shape? When I was younger they removed them by default same as tonsils. I got lucky (thanks Mum) and still got both.

 Surgeons often take an appendix at the end of an operation 😂

 The Film “Carry on Doctor”, a classic British comedy farce, features my namesake “Dr Hardcastle”, who operates on a patient and looses his watch inside, so they have to wheel him back in to surgery to recover it 😂

 I didn't claim it was good.

Actually I'm a big fan of the "Carry on" films, they are of their time, but I love them.

The best for me is "Carry on Screaming"

 Probably saved your life! But removing any organ without proper cause is just crazy

 Agree, yeah they got mad at me in the hospital for joking about it. They said "We are gonna have to remove your appendix or you will die" and I said "Can I think about it for a second?" They said "No, and that's not funny." 😂
