Like if you step on a hose and the water cant flow anymore. Why do I know this? Because I have been on blood thinners for 5 months for my own blood Clot and have been avoiding having this surgery like a big fat baby. Of course if I had millions of dollars on the line I would have been under the knife in October.

The whole thing is too biblical to me, I mean they cut out your rib. I told my wife if I have to do it that I should at least get an additional wife like Adam. How else am I going to be able to have a three way? She didn’t think that was nearly as funny as I did.
