Medical Tomfoolery

Never sleep around a medic. Never get so drunk that you are unconscious. Never agree to let the medic practice procedures on you that you have never heard of. Like inserting a nasogastric tube, inserting a nasogastric airway, or inserting a Foley catheter. Medics were probably the kids growing up who were always sticking pens in their noses or inhaling beans. Male medics have this urge to stuff tubes in every human orifice extant. We think it's funny. Look at us funny and you might end up with a catheter slimed with surgilube somewhere the sun doesn't shine.
Two medics offered themselves up as guinea pigs for medical procedures tonight. One agreed to have a nasogastric tube put in. A nasogastric tube is a tube that doctors use to clean out your stomach in a hospital or take a sample of stomach contents. Well medics like it because we get to shove a tube down somebody's nose. I have a video of this dude drinking Mountain Dew only to have a buddy of mine sucking it out of a tube in his nose as fast as he can drink it.
The other guy put in his own Foley catheter. That is to say he smeared iodine on his penis while wearing sterile gloves, put lubricant on a plastic tube and shoved the entire thing in his penis! At one point, he was in so much pain he was nearly in tears and we all just nearly died with laughter.
I have a video of him doing this to himself. I laugh so hard when I watch it that I have to make sure I go the bathroom first. Medics are fun.

Are we deployed yet?

I talked to someone who just spent 10 months in Iraq, which honestly could be almost anyone in the Army since Army brass is deploying everybody. He told me something interesting. Deploying is easy; predeployment is hell. I mean hell like living in jail with some dude named Bubba who's looking for a new "Mommy". I mean hell like living with your PMS'ed mother-in-law and her new boyfriend "Donny". I mean hell like finding out your wife cheated on you with your brother... And your best friend, and your cousin, and his friends, and...
It's unpleasant.
I did get off work early today so I decided to unwind by actually using my XBox for what it was designed for and playing some video games. So I played "Ninja Gaiden" and got my butt handed to me by assorted fictional characters whose only purpose is to hassle hapless gamers. Strangely enough, it was enjoyable, but I could only take so much failure.

Michael Moore's at it again. He says that he "rails against the Democratic party". Yet he's made no movies about them.
