They say every, but no one's checked mine yet.
Not even in the Mayo clinic?
They stayed above the waist.
Fair enough, how are you doing now? Any word out from them yet?
We're looking into intensive therapy programs at the moment. Hopefully we'll find something by the end of the week, but we had to wait until my daughter's school year was over.
Ah man, sorry to hear you are in the midst of a health issue Flying Squid! Wishing you a full recovery. Lemmy wouldn't be the same without you!
Thank you!
For what it's worth, I hope they find something to get you well again.
Thanks, me too!
They're calling but Dr. Ham on 3 so hold the Mayo
You are a heavy sleeper.
Is it too much to ask for them to wait until I'm awake until they play with my balls?

I just don't see what I get out of it. Other than microplastics in my balls.
How do you think they get the microplastics in your balls in the first place? Can't have you knowing.
If I knew, I might have let them put some extra in for good luck!
microplastics are their own reward
Every tested testi. Testis of non-testee testi'd are not tested.
They said "every testicle in study."
Yours were not in the study.
Can you prove it?
yes.
As far as you know.
Fine. Please urinate into a coffee mug. Someone will be by soon to collect the sample...
Pee is stored in the balls.
