    Now is where someone better at storytelling than me would talk about the time Andre the Giant drunkenly passed out in a hotel lobby and nobody could move him so they just left him there.

      Andre had a lot of joint problems related to his gigantism, as well as physical injuries from his wrestling career. He self-medicated with alcohol, and became addicted to it.

      It was really sad.

        Hello sir, yes hi. I came for an amusing anecdote, but instead I was shown nothing but sadness and pity. I’d like a refund please.

          I’m sorry I am not authorized to give refunds, but I hope that the following Andre the Giant facts will help: he was widely known as the “Gentle Giant” because his real-life personality was exceptionally kind, friendly, and generous. He was soft-spoken and gentle around children, lifting them up and being patient so they wouldn’t be scared. He disliked arrogance and mean-spirited people, and would physically “reprimand” bully coworkers in the ring.

            He was a good guy. I’m ashamed to admit that I believed some lies about him for a long time.

        I think I’d feel better than okay after a fart like that.

          pay attention after your next (first?) colonoscopy. they pump you full of air and most of it comes out the same direction it came in.

          just don’t hold it. my mother was feeling too dainty to fart (we had back to back colonoscopies with the same gastro. even did the prep together. what a bonding experience) so she ended up with trapped gas. and then did not get enough dilaudid and only got to the gut clench phase of the drug and ended up in more pain.

          then she farted the long fart and all was right in the world again. but her gut was still clenched from the drug so it was not so pleasant.
