TEN ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATIONS FOR HAVING TWO EXTRA HOLES IN YOUR REAR*

  1. Tried to treat constipation with a Draino enema.
  2. Attacked by a blind vampire.
  3. Tried to do that trick where you lie on a bed of nails and have a friend smash a cinder block on your belly.
  4. Needed a place to store toothpicks.
  5. While drunk, attempted to show off trick throws with darts.
  6. Wanted to join circus as “The Human Bowling Ball.” 
  7. Ran out of money for the metal studs after I got the piercings.
  8. Needed more exit holes for my tapeworm.
  9. Was in barroom brawl and learned that “I’ll tear you a new one” is not just an idle threat.
  10. Kids, this is what happens when you hold in your farts.

* The real explanation, of course, being perianal fistulas, for which I had surgery yesterday (and I am feeling much better, thank you).  I forgot to ask what music they were going to play, and I was under general anesthesia, so I was unable to confirm my suspicions about Dr. Suave's musical tastes
