Ingenious!

I recently heard of a man who sold his services on e-Bay. He will call one a week (I think?) and insult you. It can be for motivation or just cruelty. I never knew you could get paid for telling someone how terrible you/they/everyone thinks they are. It's obvious that there are some unusual things that go on in the world. It all depends on how you look at it I guess. You might think being belittled is exciting where someone else might think it appalling. Having worked in prisons I've seen people can find the ability to do anything. As I've said previously, I have thousands of stories that would curl your toes. Here's one I'll share, so if your a little squeamish, stop reading now.

We had an inmate come into the emergency room (the hospital was placed inside a maximum security prison) with a complaint of rectal problems. He was always coming in for one made up problem or another, trying to get placed in a hospital bed and out of the cell block. He once bit his lip and spit the blood into some fecal matter and claimed his rectum was bleeding. He was gay and having "relationship" problems; hence wanting to get away for a little while. Anyway, this particular trip to the emergency room, an x-ray was performed. It indeed showed a blockage in his anus. He had placed three asthma inhaler cartridges (the metal piece) inside. The Doctor questioned him about this and we got the story mentioned above. The Doctor was interested in one detail in particular, we couldn't figure out why the first two were inserted upright, while the third say sideways...??? The inmate stated casually that "When I put all three up there they kept falling out, so I had to turn one sideways to hold them in."

That is one of my tamest stories. I do believe I've just about seen it all. It's amazing what the body can put up with. It's more fascinating what people will do with their bodies.

More later; better go do some work.



As a little note - the spell checker doesn't recognize rectal. It wants to change it to recital. How odd....
