LOS ANGELES (AP) - Comedian Rodney Dangerfield underwent arterial brain surgery today to improve his body's blood flow in preparation for an upcoming heart valve replacement, his publicist said.
The procedure, known as an extracranial-intracranial brain bypass, involves inserting the superficial temporal artery near the ear into the middle cerebral artery of the brain, according to Dangerfield publicist Kevin Sasaki.

I saw him at Cedars-Sinai here in LA about a year ago. He didn't look good at all. 'Hoping and praying for him. He's funny.

I was so poor growing up ... If I wasn't born a boy ... I'd have had nothing to play with.
A girl phoned me the other day and said, "Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home.
If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.
During sex, my girlfriend always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel.
One day as I came home early from work I saw a guy jogging naked. I said to the guy, "Hey buddy, why are you doing that?" He said, "Because you came home early."
Its been a rough day. I got up this morning ... put on a shirt and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase and the handle came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.
I was such an ugly kid ... when I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.
I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
I was such an ugly baby ... my mother never breast fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend.
When I was born ... the doctor came out to the waiting room and told my father, "We did everything we could ... but he pulled through."
I'm so ugly ... my mother had morning sickness after I was born.
Once when I was lost ... I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, "Do you think we'll ever find them?" "He said, "I don't know kid ... there are so many places they can hide."
My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday.
I'm so ugly ... I worked in a pet shop and people kept asking how big I'd get.
I went to see my doctor. "Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror... I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me?" He said, "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect."
I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.

My prayers are with Rodney. Hopefully, he'll be back soon, talking about the doctor who performed the surgery:
"I went to see my doctor... Doctor Vidi-boom-ba. Yeah...I told him once, "Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me? He said, "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect."

Best of luck to you funny man!

I told the cop on the beach that I had lost my parents. I asked "Can you help me?"...he said "I don't know, kid, there are lots of places to hide around here."
