A come hither look with a possibility of different results
I visited a local pub the other night and overheard three very hefty women who were talking while seated at the bar.
Their accent seemed to be Gaelic; so I approached and asked, "Hello, are you three lassies from Ireland?”
One of them angrily screeched, "It's Wales . . . Wales, YOU bloody idiot!”
So, I apologized and replied, "I am so sorry. Are you three whales from Ireland?”
And that's the last thing I remember....
Why I dont go to bars

Damn you all, I take a walk and I am 4 pages behind again.
I had a condition on my hand called Dupuytrens Contracture which requires major hand surgery. Here is a picture right after surgery. This was only one finger.....I had all five done on both hands.
The second surgery had complications and the surgeon had to rush because of tourniquet time. As a result I got a staff infection on my left ring finger. It was so bad they though they were gonna have to amputate it.

Being born & raised in Shitcago and was called a BFI(Bastard From Illinois) by a Wisc. pig I can tell you all about cheeseheads...The woman with the handgun in the MRI. Wouldn't you know it, she's a 'cheesehead'. (No offense, lived in Wisconsin myself as a youngster, and loved the farm produce there, as well)..
Wis. woman sneaks gun into MRI; it goes off, shooting her in buttocks
“In the process of entering the bore, the handgun was attracted to the magnet and fired a single round. The patient received a gunshot wound in the right buttock area," the adverse event report stateswww.ems1.com

One of the more intense periods was waiting for the lab culture to come back, to see if what I had was antibiotic-resistant or not.
That, and I got the privilege of diagnosing my own post-op leaking urethra via circumstantial observations that they'd missed on the scans for the infections, because the area was so crowded with the infections and hematoma, so they couldn't see the urethra was leaking internally.
There is a less invasive surgery and the condition returned on my left hand again. So I opted for the non surgical approach. Most painful thing I have ever gone through in my life. Requiring 20 shots of medicine and Novocaine directly into my finger.....this is my hand after the procedure.....
Imagine that being done on all five fingers.Damn you all, I take a walk and I am 4 pages behind again.

We lived in the country, outside of Shawano when I was tiny, and the German ethnic culture there was dynamite for homemade goods, as well as the cheese farms, beef farms with homemade sausages done old-school, etc.Being born & raised in Shitcago and was called a BFI(Bastard From Illinois) by a Wisc. pig I can tell you all about cheeseheads...
Driving or riding a motorcycle through there (and some other areas, including rural Saskatchewan and Northern Manitoba) was always a treat; maple sugar candies, sausages made like they were 100 years earlier, local cheeses of so many varieties. Made fuel stops last a half-hour longer than they ought to.
Old school barns with stone-and-mortar foundations, and the farmers would have their wares in the coolers in the 'basement' under the barns in their own on-site retail stores in some cases.
And both wild and domestic berries and apple orchards.
Mmm.

I had a former business partner get a sliver from treated wood on his deck, didn't pay any attention to it, and nearly lost his hand.
They filleted his finger and part of his palm open in the hospital with a fairly constant wash of saline and antibiotics.
We watched their son while he was in the hospital.
Your hand looks gruesome.

Don't know where that is. We were near the small town of Shawano, and close to the Grass Lake Cheese Farm, close to Grass Lake, Wisconsin.
I have since, decades later, had a former friend down that way, pick up large quantities of sausages and cheese, maybe 15+ or even 20 years ago, and ship us a LARGE well-insulated box of cheese and meats from Stangelville, Wisconsin from Konop Meats.
Once you taste -real- old-school, aged summer sausage, all the non-aged, fat-laden, corporate, mass-produced trash in the store is inedible.
I have memories of seeing logs of summer sausage hanging from nails in our basement ceiling, encased in the white mold that grows on the outside of the casings. MAN!!!
That, and fresh potato rolls with Muenster or Colby Long Horn cheese and spicy mustard. A meal right there!!

Last I checked, years ago, they don't ship, but if you know people down that way, where there's a will, there's a way... or, where there's a will, somebody died.

The semi-delayed box of Cajun treats will be here mid-day on Thursday.
I told my daughter I'll be showing up with the puppy (so she can see how much she's grown since she brought her up for us) and a bib on, with a fork in my hand. Maybe a generator and a microwave oven in the back of the car, too.
I never forget snacks
I rest my case!
So a guy tells his doctor that he wishes to be castrated and insists on it when his doctor tries to talk him out of it. In the recovery room he asks the patient next to him what he was in for and the patient told him that he was in to be circumcised.
The guy does a palm hit to his forehead and says, "Circumcision! Thats the word I was trying to remember!"
Holy shit Mon! I had the Dupuytrens Contracture on my ring finger fixed, but they didn't tear me up anywhere close to that bad.Damn you all, I take a walk and I am 4 pages behind again.

Damn @Putembk I got a little queasy there. That looked awful. No chance of tying flies during that recovery time I'd have to imagine.
I played football on turf way back in high school and turf burns were a common affair. The turf was new and our coaches were inexperienced with it. The common practice was to spray us with some kind of fake skin when it would happen. All that ended up doing was trapping the bacteria that came with the turf inside with no way for the body to shed it.
I both had and saw some really disgusting infections from that. We had a team doctor that would shoot us up with antibiotics on a regular basis. You would think he would have figured out what was going on and recommended that shitty fake skin treatment be done with.

You can sign me up for loaded nachos...
