Stupour bowl
As, once again, I have no interest or even understanding of football, I won’t be watching this weekend.
The only reason I had cable, in fact, was to watch the Puppy Bowl and occasionally Top Gear.
SPEAKING of Top Gear, here’s a bit of a wikiwander for you: It began with Mr Evans at Drawn Cutlass, and ended up here, with Jeremy Clarkson on a program talking about the use of this item.
Who knew that the Humane Society began as the “Institution for affording immediate Relief to Persons apparently dead, from drowning.”
I gotta tell you, the things people will stick in placed where they don’t belong…
You notice that the bellows device in the video has a brass smoke bowl and it’s placed just behind the enema syringe? I bet that resulted in some burned buttocks.
Gotta love Stephen Fry, too!
Bet that really filled a need. I don’t know when the last time I heard of a drowning that you could have done something about. Kind of fits the bill for a bunch of bored busy bodies.
I simply wonder how they put two and two together to where, when faced with reviving a drowned person, someone said, “Let’s blow smoke up his ass” (said in the soft English accent- ahhhhss) and the drowned was shocked back to consciousness. How they figured quid pro quo, this cause will have this effect.
I’m thinking the shock to the body would be almost as severe as that from a defibrillator, unless, of course, the victim was one that might be found at the emergency room, late at night, with the hope the vacuum cleaner attachment could be removed with the least amount of embarrassment.
