Islam- Judaism
This year Islam and Judaism's holiest holidays overlapped for 10 days.Muslims racked up 397 dead bodies in 94 terror attacks across 10 countries during this time... while Jews worked on their 159th Nobel Prize.
Ahh, yes. How many Nobel prices has muslims been awarded with? Four?
Good for them innit?
Sheesh!

They are tops at winning the "Blowntohell in Pieces Prize."
Hope you start feeling better soon. I never had painkillers keep me awake...
Then again, they don't work on me anyway, so I'm no expert. I do know from a week in the hospital that Morphine wears off in 10 minutes... no fun.
The worst was probably after my PRK surgery. They said it would hurt and even to take a glass of wine with the pain meds (a big no-no in the medical field, but eye surgery is an exception, I guess) if it was unbearable. They said it would knock anyone out and they'd wake up halfway through the next day. So, I started working on a glass of wine when my wife went to the store with our neighbor. 2 pills, 2 glasses of wine, and half a bottle of good scotch later, I'm still hurting (and I'm usually not a big drinker).
They opened the door and they said the smell of whiskey hit them like a brick wall. Didn't really phase the neighbor (former catholic priest)- he just laughed. Thankfully, in a stroke of brilliance, my wife brought some frozen corn- that wrapped in a paper towel or cloth conformed to my eyes and numbed them really good... and kept me from going crazy. I didn't even bother with the useless pills after that! I'd do it all over again if I had to- had glasses since the 4th grade and now I don't need them anymore.
Another of my worst experiences was when they were extracting my wisdom teeth and didn't listen to me when I told them to use at least double the maximum dosage of painkillers. I started groaning "oww" half-way through and the doc had the nerve to say "oh, that's ok- he won't remember anything." The assistant, God bless her, paid attention and said, "He's spelling out "PAIN!!!" on the armrest." He then gave me a couple extra shots and I managed to make it through. Glad those are once in a lifetime sort of things.
Anyway, hope my rambliing finally put you to sleep. That'll teach you to go jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. :-)

Hah!
The wisdom tooth thingy reminds me of my own excperiences.
Apparently, I have not enough room for the wisdom tooths in my jaw. So when they started to grow out, I started to chew myself on my inner cheeks. After a while it got infected and hurt like hell. When they grew, it came to a point when I could not even close my mouth! I could only eat soup.
So I went to the dentist. He pulled the two ones in my uppr gums. I went back to work. I had to tampons in my mouth, no feeling whatsoever in my lips cheeks or mouth. I drooled blood and saliva the whole time trying to speak to customers.
They looked at me as if I was the chipmunk from hell!

Tampons in your mouth... I know there's a good joke in this somewhere...

Heh!
Well they are called tampons- or tamponades. That's where they really had they original use. Stopping bleeding in gunshot wounds! Then someone found another use for them- stopping other bleeding in other cavities.
I'm not shure what you call them in USA, but here its tamponger "tampons". But in all farenesss- they do look like the womanly things, only a bit smaller... (c;

Come to think of it- would'nt it had been great if I would have had to go and buy me a pack of Tampax? I can picture myself in the store, dribbeling blood, paying for it!
LOL!

Now I'm feeling silly, but I just can´t stop thinking about it...
What if I first inserted the tamponns with the tube into my mouth in front of a costumer; and then started a conversation with two strings hanging out of the sides of my mouth! While drooling blood and saliva!...
Wonder if I would get anything sold then?
Maybe it's the painkillers- but right now I'm ROFL. (Not really, because I don't think I would get up again- But it´s the thought that counts...)
Damn you Falcon for getting me in to this line of thinking. Now I wont get any sleep for the forseeable future! (Just kidding) A good laugh is allways a good laugh! But right now it hurts...
Thank you Falcon for inspiering me!
