What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Last time, I used: "Anybody need anything while I'm out?" and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

It's not the anaesthetist that does pelvic exams, it's medical students. Medical students need experience so they practice on anaesthetized patients. There was a story on the radio of a male medical student who was supposed to do an exam on a woman and he realized that she was unaware and hadn't specifically consented and so he mentioned his concerns to his peers and it started a discussion worldwide about the practice. I don't think the practice is limited to pelvic exams.
