Fair enough; you do what's medically indicatem nio matter how it sdounds, 
like when the doctor said, to get my kidnmey styone, he'd "go in with a stent
to hold space open, them follow up with a camera on a stick, then a tiny 
laser on a stick & blast that thing whjile he's looking right at it.

I asked, "Where are you planing to go "in" (thinking of scars in my personal
zone); he said "through your urethra"

I said, "I know wgat thart is, Doc, you better be knocking me out first!"

He assured me I'd be under with a General.

Essentially he was going to film a Star Wars sequel in my shmeckle!

Or maybe the movie adaptation of Atari "Asteroids"? *LOL*

Speaking of. . why is it when they're up in the hemisphere they're called
asteroids, but when they're in your a*s, they're called hemmorrhoids?
