BehindTheMedspeak: "Surgeons are mean people!"
Wonderful graphic just in from Richard Kashdan, as seen on 9gag.
How accurate is it?
Quite, in my case.

Whipped Lightning
From uncrate : "Making a frozen, boozy treat? Want to take it to the next level? Top it with some Whipped Lightning ($TBA). Available in a variety of flavors — including white chocolate raspberry, amaretto, and tropical passion — this "whipahol" is actually flavored, alcohol-infused whipped cream. While it won't be knocking any socks off with its 36.5 proof alcohol content, it should be enough to kick up your Irish Coffees and Mudslides...."

From the availability map (below)
it would appear it's already here in Virginia.
