P.S. From My Previous Post

I had embedded an entertaining and educational Youtube video in the post below that follows the lifecycle of the common hernia, starting at birth and following it to it's untimely death. What I neglected to notice is that before the video even starts, there is a stamp across the window that says: "Sample Use Only".  Scroll down. See for yourself.

What the heck is that there for? Do the artisans that created that little gem think that maybe someone watching it is going to want a hernia of their very own? Granted, they do make it look appealing. But it doesn't really show you how to make a hernia. At least, not that I remember. I'm not about to watch it again to find out.

Maybe it's geared as a warning to the people that have always wanted to practice a little home surgery. I have no idea who this might be. It certainly wasn't my first thought when I watched it, and of anyone out there, it seems like I might fit that demographic. After all: A) I'd love to get rid of the thing, and B) If I did it myself, it might save me a couple of bucks. Still, even with these incentives, I'm pretty sure I don't have what it would take to do it.

The only thing that even remotely makes any sense to me is that maybe this is a disclaimer. Maybe in this day and age when people will look for any excuse to sue, the producers felt obliged to put this in there to protect themselves from people who "hurt themselves" when they tried the procedure at home. A pathetic idea. Probably true, but pathetic.
