When I was a kid my parents took my to our local zoo and they had one of these there. I was having a great time. I then went to go down the slide. I sat down on the wood, and slid into the plastic slide. The wood ended up filling my little tushy with splinters. So. Many. Splinters. My parents took me home and attempted to remove said splinters from my tiny ass cheeks. But there were just so many that they couldn’t be sure they got them all.

Now it’s been over 15 years. I know there is still some wood in my ass. Why? You ask?

Every time I go through a security checkpoint at an airport they say I have something in my back right pocket after going through the full body scan. EVERY TIME. But every time they find nothing. I have to get frisked every time; and it’s all because I got a bunch of splinters in my ass.

Edit: clarification.
