There are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at sea.
And this does not count the nuclear power plants lost down there too! But don't worry about the underwater bombs going nuke anytime soon, to make one go nuke you have to compress the nuke stuff symmetrically into a teeny tiny itty bitty mass that then expands into the explosion we see on the old news reels. Being under water all this time the stuff they use to squeeze the nuke stuff could explode and scatter the nuke stuff over a small part of the ocean, a few hundred feet max, but nothing more then that. The power plants down there though are a MUCH different problem, they could start leaking and we could start catching some VERY weird looking fish again!!
I was on a ship in the US Navy that carried nukes back in the day and as a firefighter had to go to a bunch of classes about how to handle the bombs. Apparently they are a tough nut to make go nuke, one wire has a itty bitt teeny tiny more resistance then another wire and NO NUKE, because the nuke stuff gets squirted out the side instead of being compressed by the C4, or whatever they are using to squish it.
Well, I'm having a little procedure done on my neck today, and I am NOT happy.
Here's the problem. I have bad discs in my neck, arthritis, blah blah blah. So I talked to the doc yesterday about this second injection of cortisone they want to do. I said, "Hey doc, that first one didn't last too long, think we can do something different this time?" He asks what I have in mind. I say, "Instead of cortisone how 'bout injecting a nice expensive Kentucky Bourbon?"
He says, "Wow, can't do that here, I'm sorry. I'm surprised you even know about that technique. Only one place in the world you can get that done. Some doc down in Australia named Mike Hewson..."

Oh yeah...winning.
I have had cortisone shots in my knees, elbows and even my feet, the knees get done about once every year or so, when I can't stand it anymore. When they work I LOVE THEM, when they don't work as well I can't wait to go back and get another! My neighbor went to her guy for a shot last time around on her knee and got an injection of 'chicken cartilage' instead, she LOVED it!!! Her problem is she is big and there is bone on bone action going on in her knee, apparently the 'chicken cartilage', her words not mine, works just like the human stuff but lasts only a bit longer then a cortisone shot. BUT since cortisone can be bad for us if we take too much total over the course of a year, it is a viable option for her.
I hope your "little procedure" goes well and you are back to your old self in no time!! MANY years ago an NFL football Washington Redskins linebacker, Brad Dusek, had several vertebrae fused in his back and played linebacker again for a few years after it healed!! He said he felt like a new man again after the surgery, he played like it too!
It's not such a big deal. Here's the usual agenda in chronological order:
Walk in front door of surgical building.
Check in at front desk.
Flirt with nurses while waiting for doc.
Docs walks in and asks you to verify why you are there.
You tell doc for gall bladder surgery.
Doc says that's too bad cause yer getting a large needle in your neck.
Doc walks out.
Flirt with nurses.
Nurse walks in to insert IV. You don't flirt cause it's a HIM.
Get wheeled into OR.
Flirt with nurses.
Before you can flirt anymore, they put you out and insert large "105 howitzer" needle into your spine and inject wonder chemicals.
You wake up and since you are now higher than a kite on drugs from the surgery, you tell the nurses all about your 50 year old god-like physique.
Nurse helps you put your shirt back on.
Remind nurse about your physique.
Driver takes you home, tucks you in bed and leaves.
You wake up a few hours later not remembering a dang thing about your day.
Wish you had flirted with the nurses.
You realize you feel better and can now enjoy life, and you promise yourself that NEXT time you'll remember to flirt with the nurses.
A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened?
You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon
ball, but I'm fine now."
The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook?
What happened to your hand?"
The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got
into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm
fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew
over. I looked up, and one of them shit in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender.
"You couldn't lose an eye just from birdshit ."
"It was my first day with the hook."
4 Minutes 'til Jager O'clock. An hour and a half until dinner.
Hey I do the same timing!!! My bar opens at 5pm with dinner at 6:30.
Phil I HOPE it goes like that!!! I too have done the 'howitzer' size needles in the past, but mine was because of me donating platelets. They stick a ball point pen sized needle in each arm, one takes the blood out of you where it runs thru the machine, where it removes the platelets, then it runs the same blood back into the other arm. You come out looking like a drug addict due to the bruises in your veins!! It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to get the amount they need, so they have you laying on a 'couch' with a tv on an arm that they swing over in front of you and a set of headphones. They put a movie in and you are good to go for the duration, all the time squeezing a rubber ball with one hand. I had to stop because my doctor said taking a baby aspirin every day was not an option, but that is one of the things you CANNOT take if you donate platelets.
I am back from the clutches of the evil doctors brought forth from the Spanish Inquisition.
Didn't quite work out as planned, Mikey. They had some poor guy coming in for emergency surgery so they were hustling to get several of us "easy ones" out of the way. Alas, no time to flirt. Oh well, there is always next time. I just hope the other guy is ok.
