A man coming out of surgery and still under the influence of anesthesia was talking to a lady next to his bed when he realized he was listening to a Joyce DiDonato album.
“Man, is that a great voice,” he says, CD in hand. “Whoa! That may be the prettiest voice I’ve ever heard. Who is that?”
“That’s Joyce DiDonato,” a friend says off-camera. “You’re a fan of hers.”
“I’m her fan?” the man says, his voice cracking. “Holy s***. Dang. You mean I’ve heard her sing live?”
“Several times.”
“Do I own her record albums and DVDs?”
“Yes.”
The man eats a cracker while thinking about this. “How long have I been her fan?”
“Almost from the beginning, ever since you saw her in Mark Adamo’s Little Women. You’ve even met her.”
“I have?”
“Several times. And she has a new album coming out.”
“Oh, my God, I hit the jackpot!”
While the video was not available for republication here, experts believe it is authentic. Some skeptics, however, insist that the man is not waking from surgery, but has merely lost his mind due to intense deadline pressure as he completes the authorized biography of Madeline Kahn. “The scruffy beard is a dead giveaway,” said one analyst, Dr. Kevin Daly of the American Institutes for Amnesia and Something Else I Can’t Quite Remember.
