Those eels should come with a warning.

How else was he supposed to know not to put a 2 foot eel in his butt? A simple mistake that could have been prevented.

One more warning label that gets ignored.

Now if it was a 5 gallon bucket or a ladder. That’s different.

People are suggestible. A warning label is just going to tempt somebody to try to stuff a five gallon bucket where it doesn’t belong.

Mad respect to the eel for surviving! That’s some _Rambo_ level shit right there.

I _guarantee_ that no other eels at the local  
watering hole will be able to top _his_ survival story.

Wow, I was hoping that was a mistranslation, but no, that’s what it says in Vietnamese too. Probably there’s a Vietnamese Trump raging against Indian immigrants right now. “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re stuffing eels up their anuses. And some I assume are decent people. (pause for reflection …) never let go of the tail, folks. That’s the secret. Never let go of the tail. We know that right? We all know that!”

> After removing the eel, the doctors pushed the lemon out through the anus.

Jim Jeffries, in his “I swear to God” show told a story about visiting a porn warehouse in Holland - that should be enough info to find the clip on YouTube - with consequences not vastly dissimilar to the Vietnamese gentleman’s.

So perhaps there’s a post-eel career in comedy, at least.

Is it determined the lemon was maybe to keep the eel from back peddling?  
Or leftover from a previous experiment?

Maybe the eel was supposed to swallow the lemon.

… or stuff it up _its_ butt.

Along the lines of some gross imitation of a sexual ‘turducken’.

The bucket goes in _after_ the ladder.

I’ve had two. Or is it three?

Story time …  
Just yesterday my GF and I were exploring the random stores at an outdoor tourist trap. One of which was an outlet of **[IT’SUGAR – IT’SUGAR](https://itsugar.com/)**. Normally I give those a pass, but it was uncrowded and cool in there unlike hot and crowded outside where we were, so in we went for respite.

Whereupon we encountered a display of odd and oversized gummi [whatevers]. Teddy bears the size of cantaloupes, various cartoon characters, etc. And this abomination:

> **[Giant 3 LB Gummy Worm](https://itsugar.com/products/worlds-largest-gummy-worm-html)**
>
> IT'SUGAR Giant Gummy Worm is an impressive 3lb. creature created from the two most delicious gummy flavors ever - cherry and blue raspberry. Makes a great unique gift.

If you go to the page, the pix with the woman show it in its relaxed actual size and proportions; the guy in the pix is stretching his out a bunch. Don’t forget to read the nudge nudge wink wink ad copy on the page. You just know those 3# 65cm long 20cm circumference gummi worms are seeing all sorts of illicit use.

Of course I immediately thought of this thread. So I told GF about it. She’s an RN who works in a stage 1 trauma center OR. They get the cases the Emergency Department ORs can’t handle. Rough duty. But she started in the ED years ago. Her comment? “Oh, honey, you have no idea”. Then she pawed at her phone to show me a pic a co-worker had sent earlier that week. A home-grown carrot about the length and diameter of an adult forearm that her ED had “found” inside some guy’s colon. Pointy end went in first, which is the easy way . But (heh) makes extraction by the user much more difficult once the blunt end disappears inside. Hence his trip to the ED.

We shan’t mention the very, very green gummi whole dill pickle replicas on the display peg alongside the monster worms. They’re pretty realistic pickles other than being ~20% oversized with more and larger bumps than the real thing. So a Pickle Of Unusual Size. No, we shan’t mention those. Cites, however, are OK:

> **[IT'SUGAR Gummy Pickle](https://itsugar.com/products/it-sugar-gummy-pickle)**
>
> Our new life-size gummy pickle is kind of a big dill! And yes, it is actually pickle-flavored… we know you were wondering.

Hint: it’s not life size.

You know people were doing similar things before modern medicine. And people who can’t get surgery probably just die. Imagine the indignity of a slow death by buttcarrot.

I still want to know about the aftermath re the eel. The article said it was still alive when removed. What then?

Did they send it to “analyzed” ?

Did they dump it into the hazardous waste to be burned?

Did they take it to the nearest bay and turn it loose?

Send it to retirement at some zoo/animal exhibit/museum?

Send it to the kitchen?

What happened to the eel???
