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 got my kid a "bow and arrow" set for Christmas. What did he get me? A t-shirt with a target on the back.

When I was a kid, my parents took me to a Dog Show. I won.

I stuck my head out of the car window and was arrested for mooning!
