http://www.thelaughbible.com/brings-ikea-stool-shower-now-thousands-laughing-embarrassing-incident/After looking at different alternatives at IKEA, he decided to go for the Marius stool since it was made out of steel and plastic, and was comfy.
But there was one thing that Claus had forgotten about: the stool had 8 small holes in it, something that would soon cause an uncomfortable problem. On his Norwegian Facebook page, he writes about the incident:
Once I got home, I put my new piece of furniture in the shower and got in, this time without clothes. I calmly sat down on the stool and soaped up my whole body, including the captain and his two sailors. As you might imagine, the sailors are what dangles between my legs, but since this is a public Facebook post Ill stick to more flowery language.
So, when the deck got slippery and the captain and his crew got dizzy from all the foam, they started sliding around like drunk sailors! Claus writes, and continues:
Then something terrible happened."

(16,869 posts)They never say "Doc, I was trying to shove my berries into the hole in the chair and they got stuck!" It's always, this or that just "slipped right in". I can say that fishing things out of and off of people in such circumstances has been one of the more entertaining aspects of my career.

(108,990 posts)I don't remember his age, but probably 4 or 5. Old enough to know better.
It was bedtime when he told me, so it was too late to talk to the pediatrician. So I called poison control at the Children's Hospital, and they told me to check his BM's every day till it came out. And they said it could take as long as a week.
So, for the next week, I carefully collected his poops, and thoroughly dug into each and every one of them, hoping to spot the swallowed coin -- but it never emerged.
So I called the pediatrician and told her what happened, and what I'd been doing. She asked why they told me to do THAT. To make sure it came out, I replied.
And she said, "well, what would be the point? We're not going to do an operation to get a penny out."
Oh. I guess not.

Ah, the Magical Moments of Motherhood.

(80,708 posts)I don't see why people, at this point, wouldn't be like "Look, I enjoy sticking things up my butt. If you go on the good vibrations or adam and eve website, you'll see that it's actually pretty common"
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)because he makes up these wild stories about HOW something got stuck up his butt. Not the fact that something IS up his butt.

(80,708 posts)I'm just more at the point, now, of offering friendly advice to anyone still hung up. You know, if everyone's a consenting adult...Like, once upon a time long ago I used to work for a video store that had a porn section. EVERYONE is up to something or other on Friday night... and the most preachy, sanctimonious fuckin' people are also the freakiest. Trust me on this.
I think of the poor woman who got publicly ridiculed for the 'sperm thermos' emergency call. Like jesus, people, grow up. And by treating it like a big joke* you discourage other people in potentially embarrassing situations to endanger themselves by being afraid to get help.
