Last time, I used: "Anybody need anything while I'm out?" and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

I know, it's stupid, but anyway...

"If I don't survive, tell everyone I used GNU+Linux, btw."

But realistically, I'd probably be repeating this to myself: "Do not talk right after you wake up! Do not talk right after you wake up! Check the time, wait at least 2 hours. Do not trust yourself right after you wake up!" in hope that I'd remember to do so as to not accidentally disclose private information while still being high.

Propofol is a hell of a drug. It’s impossible to not say something since your prefrontal cortex is basically still off.

My wife is an RN for the place I had a procedure done and I came out of it asking the anesthesiologist how much she made and telling her my wife was thinking of becoming a nurse anesthetist. The staff thought it was hilarious of course.

So you want people to know you use GNU+Linux, and at the same time believe you have important "private information" you're likely to disclose while recovering from a general anaesthetic?
