Playing the piano

A doctor has come to see one of his patients in a hospital. The
patient has had major surgery to both of his hands.
"Doctor," says the man excitedly and dramatically holds up his heavily
bandaged hands. "Will I be able to play the piano when these bandages
come off?"
"I don't see why not," replies the doctor.
"That's funny," says the man. "I wasn't able to play it before."
