Hernias are usually generated from a guy overexerting himself trying to escape the hysterics. Mowing the lawn six times in one day or begging the boss for some overtime, etc. And that is what a hysteric-ectomy is for. Slows down the hysterics. So if you can avoid a hernia before the hysteric-ectomy is done it’s a win. And anything you can lay on their doorstep, such as calling it a “her”nia as payback for all those years of the pain in the neck and a yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap brings with that win the sweet smell of victory.
PS: I wouldna have ta be ‘splainin’ this to ya if ya held yer mouth right and stopped hanging out with those damned scientists.

Clearly Macchu Picchu was built to honor the ancient aliens that visited the Americas.

I would think it was clearly a staging area for Hitler’s Wehrmacht.
To: SunkenCiv
Or the Inca never built it at all.
