There Once Was a Man

There was a man who needed surgery
Down where you know well let's say the Dead Sea
              They gave him a gown too short
               Then pills same as a quick snort
He danced an Irish Jig and sang whoopee

HaHAA!!...I must tell you a navy story here...A friend and shipmate of mine had a circumcision operation...They gave him Amyl Nitrate (which prevents certain things from growing) You pop them open and sniff them (when certain things START growing) They make you crazy, giggly and goofy...He had an unlimited supply so he of course was generous and shared them with us...The doctor heard our howls of laughter, rushed in thinking there was an emergency and to say the least he was NOT amused...
