The bronze syringe bulb weighs 800 pounds and is held by three angels. updated 10:04 a.m. PT, Thurs., June. 19, 2008 MOSCOW - A monument to the enema, a procedure many people would rather not think about, has been unveiled at a spa in the southern Russian city of Zheleznovodsk. The bronze syringe bulb, which weighs 800 pounds and is held by three angels, was unveiled at the Mashuk-Akva Term spa, the spa's director said Thursday. "There is no kitsch or obscenity, it is a successful work of art," Alexander Kharchenko told The Associated Press. "An enema is almost a symbol of our region." The Caucasus Mountains region is known for dozens of spas where enemas with water from mineral springs are routinely administered to treat digestive and other complaints. Kharchenko, 50, said the monument cost $42,000 and was installed in a square in front of his spa on Wednesday. A banner declaring: "Let's beat constipation and sloppiness with enemas" an allusion to a line from "The Twelve Chairs," a famous Soviet film comedy was posted on one of the spa's walls.

The enema of my enema is my friend.
At the opening night performance of a play a famous actor keels over dead on stage. There is understandable pandemonium as audience and theater company alike are in shock. The Theater Manger comes out and announces to the crowd, “We are very sorry, but in light of the circumstances tonight’s performance has been cancelled.”
Way up in the balcony an Old Lady shouts, “Give him an enema!” The Theater Manager explains the situation again and again the Old Woman shouts, “Give him an enema!” This goes back a forth a few times until the finally the Theater Manager tells the lady, “Don’t you get it? He’s dead. How could an enema possibly help?”
The Old Lady’s response: “Well, it couldn’t hurt!”
This was a favorite summer spot for France’s Lord and Lady Douchebag.
Sloppiness?
Well, it sure inspires me.
"An enema is almost a symbol of our region."
