    Tomorrow is prep day for the big event. Have a lot of rounds I can split.
    The first dose of elixir isn’t due until noon.
    Would pictures of the work be helpful?

    Work in the AM then take it easy. Youre going to get a bit dehydrated

    Nasty, gross, and funny. All at the same time.
    Heck, go for it. Leave the phone somewhere you forgot.

    It is a terrible process that needs to be fixed.
    You will probably change your mind about the splitting.

    Only one thing matters. Stay close to that one room and do not let anyone else use it. They probably would not want to use it anyway.

    Good luck with scope procedure.

    I underwent one a few months ago. On the trip to the hospital, I opened the car window, stuck, my head out and opened my mouth. I swear I could hear trumpet music from my butt. :rofl: :lol:

    What is worse is just before the doc begins, you hear him mention. This is a perfect patient

    This is definitely a contender for one of the most bizarre thread titles and topics ever. I couldn't bring myself to vote in the poll. Good luck with the procedure!

    Keep a roll of TP with you if you actually do go outside. You won't care who's looking.
    One of those 1=3 rolls.

    I got out and split enough poplar and maple from my earlier round cuttings to get by until the weekend

    Three guys are talking in a bar one day. They start talking about how their cars reflect their careers. The first guy says, “I’m a museum docent, and so I drive a cheap Escort.” The second guy says, “I’m a herpetologist, and so I drive a Dodge Viper.” The third guy says, “I’m a proctologist, and I drive a brown Probe.”

    I asked the Doc to let me see the tv screen they were using till I fell out. The room spun as they steadied the camera. Then "this is the door". I fell asleep about then. I watched for maybe 30 seconds.

    I think I'd go for some splitting too. Problem is I generally split with a maul. That really could be a lot of back-pressure at the wrong time though.

    Im not sure under what circumstances I'd just not care and keep splitting.
    All would be well till the first blow out.

    Just recently had a colonoscopy. Apparently they shuffle so many patients through the center in a day that a little levity is needed to dispel eventual boredom. The anesthesiologist explained that he was about to inject the anesthesia into the IV and that I would experience a coldness flowing up my arm before passing out. I felt the coldness, heard him say "I think he's out now". The last thing I remember as I faded was the doctor saying to his staff "OK Boys and Girls, UP PERISCOPE"!
