TheJen will not complyOct 22, 2024

While I was being sedated for my hysterectomy, the (woman) surgeon came in to check on everything. I asked her if she would be so kind as to send my uterus to Congress. If they want to control them, I said, they can have mine.

Every person in the room was female and I passed out to the sound of roaring laughter.

I did also wake up in the middle of the ordeal while strapped to a table pivoted so my head was basically upside down and a bunch of robot arms in my gut.

Redheads, man.

Not just on gingers, but also those that hold the recessive gene for gingers.

My wife has brown hair, her dad is ginger, and she processes anaesthesia and opioids like a ginger.

It suuuucks

@mahony @TheJen There seems to be some common gene that not all redheads have it but... enough of them.
