    Function #1:
    Ensure that no one over the age of 13 ever strings the words "would of," "should of" or "could of" together ever again. That is truly painful to behold.

    My late mother's best friend had a favorite saying: never leave home without your toothbrush and your douchebag.

    Paramedic #1: Ok, he's stable now, so let's get him to the Trauma Unit asap!


    Paramedic #2: You guys talked with his family members, right?  What did they say happened to him?


    Paramedic #3: It's strange; he was just surfing some mediocre Q&A website and puff, his heart went out.


    Paramedic #4:  He's young, he's healthy, in great physical shape, no family history of heart problems.


    Paramedic #1: Maybe it was something he read.

  • Doctor #1: We have another unexplained trauma in room 36B. We need to get the team together and find out what happened.

    Doctor #2: I have already done a preliminary exam on the patient. Everything seems to be in working order, except for the strange sounds coming from his intestines. I have sent him to x-ray, the results should be back momentarily. 

    Doctor #3:  I have the x-rays, looks like there is some sort of bowel blockage. We should prep him for surgery.

    Doctor #1: Oh My God! He was full of tilde eggs! 

    Image result for crazy x-rays

    Doctor #3: That explains a lot. I checked out that website he was on when his attack commenced, that sweet lady he was talking to had nothing to do with this. I messaged her on the site and she is upset that anyone thought she could have had anything to do with this. Its odd though, she said something about the clowns didn't do it, they were late getting there. Any idea what she could have been talking about?

    Sure sounds like a cover-story to me!  Nice try to wiggle your way out of a lawsuit, lady!  "Innocent sweet little old lady", yeah, right!  You're a grammterrororist!  I want you to pay my hospital bills, AND I'm planing to go after you for punitive damages too!  See you in court!  Grrrrrrrr!


    P.S.  The tilde eggs were coming along nicely, now you've ruined them!  Double grrrrrrrrrr!
