I'm Rapturous for Ruptures!

Photobucket

"Beware of Imitations!".....like the human hand, for instance?

Wow, not really paying attention to the copy in that ad...

Indeed. I gladly volunteer the use of my hand. He can pay me back when he's healed.

wait- what is rupturing? or do I not want to know...?

Googling rupture lead me to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_rupture

Which I don't think this is what the ad is for, though you never know....

(also, I love your icon. Lazytown is the most cracked out show ever, and the Lil' Jon remix of that song even more so.)

I've always assumed it was another word for hernia. Maybe I'm wrong?

Rupture was used to describe a hernia in general, but often was more specifically referring to an inguinal hernia.

While I believe it's actually possible for women to get inguinal hernias, it's usually men that get 'em and it's when a bit of intestine end up protruding from the abdomen down where one's dangly bits are. In less severe cases, things can be pushed back up and held in place til they straighten themselves out. In bad cases, you have to have surgery.

Too funny! XD

I must really have a dirty mind here. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what they are advertising. I just keep thinking of ads in the back of free newspapers from the late 80s.
Rupture? Secret air cushion, yummy guy with his hand headed south!

OMG that's my home town! The building's still there, with Brooks Appliance built into the stone on the front! WOOT!

When scrolling past this, on first glance I misread it as talking about "Rapture" (even before I noticed the subject line of the post). I then proceeded to misread the word throughout ad and was left wide-eyed until I caught the mistake. I guess lack of sleep will do that to one's reading abilities, haha.

The picture of the guy certainly didn't help.
