  1. Sounds like Mr. Helpful is missing a brain.

  3. "He just woke up in the motel bathtub, and it was two days later and he had a bunch of stitches across his torso. He doesn't really like to talk about it."

  4. "But it was delicious pan-seared and served with a butter-lemon-caper sauce."

  5. Grumpy , stop taking their history on the fly, make them fill out the forms ahead of time, give them more time to screw up their answers.

  7. His dad took the family dog to
    be fixed. The vet took too long
    so he took a nap next to fido. Fido then took his hosp band off
    and put it on his mater's wrist.
    45 minutes later, master distraught
    and fido was licking his balls (which were safe and sound). Mystery solved!

  8. I think Cthulhu Sashimi and Anonymous [6:15 PM] are both right....the surgery in the motel was having his uterus removed! That explains the stitches across his midsection, right?!

    WV: asend (as in 'he can't tell his ass end from...)

  10. Twenty bucks says it's a gallbladder. It seems half of the population (myself included) is gallbladder-free.

    Or, you know, his frontal lobe. Which would explain the son.
