In an episode of M*A*S*H, the 4077 had a bowling contest vs. another unit. The other unit had a good bowler, and the 4077 was losing. The 4077 doctors tricked him into taking something that turned his urine blue. When he sought medical advice, the 4077 doctors told him he had to keep his back straight. Paying attention to keeping his back straight impaired his bowling ability.
This one should be called “Who Cares or Not” except for my curiosity regarding why the sharks are called “pocket” sharks. Are they that small or are they marsupials? :o]
Back in my paramedic days, I responded to a home where a morbidly obese woman lived with her daughter and son-in-law. The woman lived 24×7 on a bedside commode that the son-in-law had reinforced with 4×4 lumber. The poor woman had long been non-ambulatory and was unable to lie down, so she literally lived on this toilet. They took food to her, bathed her with wash cloths, and emptied the container under her. When we removed her to take her to the ER for a condition I won’t get into, it was the first time in months, they said, that she’d been off that toilet. It wasn’t a proper porcelain toilet, though, so I don’t know if Guinness Book would count it, but it seems to me that it should beat this guy’s measly 5-ish days by a long shot!
A simple and safe compound, Methylene Blue, causes blue urine. I used to have fun in the Infirmary with men who would have nothing wrong with them but would take away my time from more urgent patients. I would give them a pill of Methylene Red (both are used to calm bladders and to treat tropical fish) and wait for them to come back screaming that they were peeing blood. Good times…

I guess Jimmy didn’t need to take a bathroom break.

Jimmy’s legs must’ve fallen asleep after that approximate five-day feat.

I told my wife I couldn’t even make it to the “sit” offs.

That’s 1,392 trips to the bathroom for the average person.

That’s 116 hours of his life that Jimmy will never get back.

An after thought. If Jimmy was sitting on the lid for 116 hours then he must surely also hold the record for not passing urine and defecating :)

That soda should probably be called “Motley Blue.”

And with no cellphone Jimmy?!… Wonder if he had any of that blue soda??

Somehow, I don’t think “116 Hours” would make as good a movie as “127 Hours.”

is there a record for “dumbest record held?” Because the sitting on the toilet thing sounds like a contender for that

Sorry I’ve have to say it “When you gotta go, you gotta go”, yup maybe someone committed before me but I didn’t see it.
