I'm scared heaven is going to be beauracratic and there's gonna be a f**k up when I die and I'll be put in the "Kenny G for Eternity" section. I'm sure I'll have to file papers and take a number and stuff like that.

^ No luck, Peter. I just played "Scenes from a Memory Metropolis" loudly and all it gave me was vague nausea and lowered expectations.

Ha! Mission accomplished, then!
One of my other hospital anecdotes actually DID make friend of mine faint, once.
I've spared you that one -- so far -- so better not piss me off, gagging Garten!

I'm desperately curious to hear this story.
Call it morbid curiosity, or the result of a lifetime of epicurean delight in the nether regions of human experience, or simply a desire for cheap thrills from a callused Gen X type.
Anything that can make me faint or puke is always welcome!

I am deathly afraid of AIDS or even talking about AIDS. I become nauseated and light headed, like I'm getting blood drawn. OOFFF!!!  Actually, any STD conversation gets me woozy. I am also afraid of dying. Or at least a painful or prolonged death. That would really suck.

Actually theres a difference between fly larvae and maggots, even tho they look alike.
The story is still gross! Yck!!!
I don't like snakes, and I don't like to see them fed! Thats gross also!

When you speak, is it you that hears? Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all.

^ Well, the little darlings can eat food debris, infected flesh, etc.
My mother's story was definitely true -- can't vouch for those others, of course, but such things must be pretty common.

I worked in hospitals for 15 years, and I once helped move a body that had been in the woods for a month or more during the summer -- lots o' assorted maggots & bugs all over the examination table! Quite the smell, too.
I've got lots more....

Now THAT'S scary to me. |
Maggots!
AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!
I don't care if that story is apocryphal (I'm sure I've heard similar versions before), it relates to maggots, one of my major fears.
I, too shall never go to Thailand!
