    Lewis Grizzard (former Atlanta Journal sports editor and columnist who became a best-selling author and then a stand-up comic) had a similar (if not identical) procedure, and mined a lot of humorous territory out of it. But he also had to have the surgery four times, and died at 48.

    Death to Smoochy is the most underrated movie of the last decade.
