Getting our second Moderna shots! The nurse mentioned in passing that she works in a OR normally and I pounced. “Okay! Weirdest thing pulled out of someone’s rectum!?”

Nurses are usually dying to tell someone this stuff. She put down the syringe and said “Wellll....”

NURSE: I don’t know if it’s the weirdest thing, but we keep getting people in with aerosol deodorant cans in there!
PARTY: Aerosol deodorant cans!?!
NURSE: And I don’t know why! What’s the appeal?
KEVIN: The small ones or...?

ME: Are they trying to use the aerosol somehow or...?
NURSE: I don’t know! I can’t ask because they’re usually unconscious by the time I get to them!
PARTY: Whoa.
ME: Do they know there are many fine online retailers who will be happy to make something in silicone for that?

NURSE: That’s what I keep thinking! There are things you can buy, people!
LIS: With a flange, even!
NURSE: EXACTLY!
*pause*
NURSE: Err, anyway, wait for fifteen minutes to see if you have a reaction.
