    The GF works as a doctor so I get a few rank tales over the dinner table.

    She had to swab a guy's knob a few days after he got a bit eager with a cheese grater one night, or when they had to send a bloke in for an op to remove the solidified window sealant he decided to pump into his third eye.

    Whereas, when they were fresh they smelt of roses ?



    Rhubarb.

    Yes, when myself and some mates went into the "monkey spanking booths" in Netherlands, we wished we had tied our shoelaces up properly...

    Did the staff keep forgetting his name or something? I suppose if he did not have a pen, then what else could he do?

    Sounds cushy compared with the poor sods down on the sewage farm, who have to slosh about in the "mud" raking huge mounds of condoms and tampons.

    Long time ago now. Long history of mental health problems I guess. Not sure exactly what triggered it all off or if was some kind of genetic disorder. Some patients were violent and lashed out instead.

    Why was he in there in the first place?

    I think I'd rather suffer the sting of TCP personally...

    Not the worst job as such but still one where a strong stomach is needed.

    I have luckily taught her to refrain from telling her stories at the dinner table.
