Gotta love those death in the butt toilet bowl cleaner handles. Especially the ones that crack government doctors can't see, even when using an x-ray machine looking for a plastic handle.

Cindy's husband, a construction manager, is now taking legal action against United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust.
He said after the hearing: "Ok she was drunk but they didn't take her seriously. She showed them the wound but they didn't do a proper examination.

He added: "Cindy got a very poor service from the NHS. I'm sure she would have got better treatment in foreign countries."
Oh, and this exquisite new system the Obama has brought us won't save $138 billion, it will cost us at least $115 billion more. That is quite a pain in the butt of another cause.
