Wow, this is right up there with the old Chinese lady who threw nine coins into an aircraft jet engine “to make the ‘blessings’” before they took off.

Drink more water and eat some rice and beans, Dude!

I’m assuming this is either a mentally ill person, or a very rural guy low on the Totem Pole with little to eat.

But if THAT were the case, why wasn’t he frying up and eating the eels? ;)

My doctor recommends Dammitol. Ask your doctor if Dammitol is right for you.

Who even needs to ask!? Stupid doctors and pharmacists. I'm about to eat me one of these whole right now, and I got one for my butt, so they can meet in the middle! Should loosen me up real good.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I ate a couple sliders from White Castle a few years ago and I thought I was going to die.

One man in China found himself on the operating table after he swallowed live eels. He believed that it would help relieve his constipation

It just occurred to me. No one here has asked the obvious question. We’re slipping FReepers. Slipping I tell you.

I’ll give you all a hint:

What was this Chinaman’s name??

Reminds of of the Inmanis vermis fistula, a giant intestinal worm where treating physicians lay the patient on their stomach, prop open their mouth, place a piece of raw meat in front of the mouth, and when the worm starts to exit the mouth they quickly grab it and pull it out of the patient.

He should have tried leeches instead.

My son tried ICE gel (like Icy Hot)for his hemorrhoids. It said analgesic creme. It didn’t cure his problem but did radically decrease his 1/4 mile times.

Eel don’t want to eat crap.

Eel will fight you for a cookie, though.

To clear up constipation, you got to swallow something that likes to eat crap.

Like Nancy Pelosi.

I think he was hoping they’d break thru the blockage.

Got the idea from the Democrat Party.

Not surprising, since the democrats are always in full rectal defilade. 😁
