“... he had waited 11 months for the operation...”

He must have pull — how else did he get an elective operation in only 11 months?

NO, it will be 11 minutes. Long enough for the doctor to sloppily suit up.
An abortion is a much cheaper medical procedure than childbirth, so it will probably be practically free, if not mandatory.

I wonder if they were working on Cowper’s glands or something.

ROFLMAO!

Dead rats in a hospital is unacceptable. At the very least the socialists could provide live rats.

The smell of dead rat is the price of poison vs traps.

"I have what doctors call very active glands...."

Waiting 11 months for the operation should be the story.

The REAL interesting part will be if he has to wait another yr or so to 'try it again'

I just had to comment to your post. Somehow almost every year a mouse will get between the walls of our house and die. You are so right about the smell. It is just awful. It is this sickly sweet smell and it is very unique - nothing else smells quite like it. It always happens during the summer and the heat will make it so intense that I have literally gone crazy. My husband has done his best but there is no way he could ever find it.

I just chalk it up to living in the country. I never had this happen when I was a “city” girl.
