@jerkules - guessing the 666 cut wouldn’t have worked for you at that moment in time! 🫢

@jerkules I was at a wedding recently. Got chatting to this guy, said he was an A&E consultant. I said "you must have a lot of stories". He whipped his phone out and took me through a series of scans and X-rays, mostly showing the things people have shoved up their backsides and the damage done. One guy had a butt-plug that had perforated his rectum and threaded its way up to the point where it was tickling his lungs (thankfully, I was told, it had managed to snake around all the major organs rather than do additional damage). Another had put an empty jam-jar up there backwards, which had subsequently imploded. And a series of vibrators without any sort of flange, which had simply gotten sucked up there.

Anyway, I hope your medical students aren't still telling your story at weddings.

I had to look it up...A&E is not Arts and Entertainment in this instance (although I'm sure it's debatable). Accidents and Emergencies (A&E)

[jerkules]

@EdH if consultants are mentioning me, above ol’ Dildo Lungs, at weddings then I’d feel oddly satisfied.

This is the thread that keeps on giving. @jerkules @EdH These stories may need a thread of their own but I’m hesitating at what to call it…lots of good choices but none that would pass decency guidelines.

I love how that no matter how old we get, deep down inside we'll always be juvenile kids at heart

[EdH]

@jerkules That's the right attitude to have I suppose!

WRT Ol' Dildo Lungs, I asked the doctor "did he say why he didn't tell the other person to stop sooner?". Apparently not.

I looked on the Guineas World Book of Records website and didn’t see anything about this so I’m dubious.

a newborn Clanger

I think I saw The Newborn Clangers at a festival in ‘98.

[EdH]

@Matt I see what you did there. Sadly, I must apologise for my lack of clarity. Different patients, one vibrator apiece.

[EdH]

For non-Brits, these are Clangers:

[Matt]

That’s less of a story. Just one errant vibrator seems like another day in the ER.

[Matt]

@EdH I think we actually had them here. I Seem to remember my kids watching it. It’s no Caillou but what are you gonna do, eh?

[goosehd]

I'm slightly disappointed that @neph93 or @Giles haven't dipped their toes into this conversation yet...

[Matt]

They’re busy playing with their clangers.

@jerkules are you sure you weren't acting in this skit?
