Unhealthy Enemas Put Tourists In Hospital

As opposed to all of those "healthy enemas" that people enjoy during birthday parties and family barbecues? "Hey Bob, throw another steak on the grill while I insert my enema!"

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russians visiting a health resort received a rude shock when a nurse used hydrogen peroxide instead of water to give them enemas.

Itar-Tass news agency reported Thursday that 17 tourists in the Caucasus spa town of Yessentuki had to be treated in hospital after the mix-up.

Sources at the sanatorium said the mistake was explained by water and hydrogen peroxide looking the same. Hydrogen peroxide, which can be used to bleach hair, is used as a disinfectant but should not be ingested. (H/T - Yahoo!)

See? This is what happens when you utilize the "dreaded apparatus."

Riddle me this, caped crusader? Why in God's name would one tourist - let alone seventeen of them - request an enema during their vacation? This is exactly why the Iron Curtain crumbled.
