You don’t want to KILL the poor guy!!!

[rdl6989]

ROTFLMAO!

[swain_forkbeard]

But now he’s had a stroke of good luck!

[swain_forkbeard]

Depends on what she looks like.

[a fool in paradise]

You guys go ahead and laugh. If you have ever seen the surgery for this condition you would cross your legs just thinking about it.

I imagine this whole thing has been hardon his family.

I once went to sleep with a hardon but, I woke up with the solution in hand.

[dearolddad]

He had a hardening of the artery.

At my advanced age, I'd be happy with an eight minute erection.

[Billthedrill]

Yeah. I looked it up one time. (shudders)

[Clemenza]

Buddy Hackett used to have a great routine on priapisms that I cannot repeat on this family website.

After six hours aren’t you supposed to call a nurse?

Yes you need to page the head nurse.

I no longer remember where I found this:

When an erection is abnormally prolonged it is called priapism. It is caused by obstruction of the venous drainage of the penis. Common causes include sickle cell disease in blacks, leukemia in children and papaverine induced erections in patients undergoing treatment for impotence. It can also be drug related (heparin, phenothiazines) or idiopathic. The patient often presents quite late because of embarrassment over his situation. At that time there is usually considerable pain due to the ischemia of the erectile tissue. Permanent damage can be done to the penis. Because impotence occurs in up to 50%, priapism is a urological emergency. The first line of treatment is to inject an alpha agonist (0.1ml of 1:1000 epinephrine) directly into the penis. If this is unsuccessful in ending the erection, old stagnant blood is syringed out with an 18 gauge needle and normal saline with or without an alpha agonist is flushed in. More invasive procedures may be necessary if the penis does not decompress with simple irrigation.

All you would have had to do was add the phrase “longitudinal incisions” and this thread would have, uh, shriveled up.

You just made me wish I was a girl, for a minute there.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

This website was started in response to the Clinton presidency, so how can you call it a family website? :-D

[Conspiracy Guy]

This is hugh. I’m series.

[Slings and Arrows]

Funny; that’s what Mrs Peru Farmer said.

[Still Thinking]

They think HE was in pain from an 8-day erection, they should talk to his wife!

[Still Thinking]

In fact, according to what I hear, it only takes seven days to make a whole week!
