One of my partners was a guy named Ted. He was always the jokester, always being just this side of offensive. He was not mean-spirited. His jokes were always the "roll your eyeballs" or "sly wink" type.
He had a very active gastrointestinal system.
On day he was giving anesthesia for a carotid endarterectomy. Surgeon was a good guy, good surgeon, but terribly slow.
Anyhow, about an hour into the case, Ted looked up over the screen and said to Jim, the surgeon, "Did you just get into the bowel, because it sure smells like it up here?"

There's a BBC radio show called The Confessional, where folks are asked to disclose three things they're ashamed of that they've done.
Anyway, there's a guy Phil Hammond who is both a doctor and a comedian, and he confessed to letting one go in surgery the morning after a very large and pungent curry. The surgeon smelt it and was worried that he'd punctured the bowel. Dr. Hammond whispered to him 'I think it was sister....'
