Sometimes I freak out

I remember reading Jurassic Park as a teenager, with all its infatuation with spilling out of intestines and what have you, and my major takeaway being WAIT, THOSE CAN COME OUT??? THIS ISN’T JUST A JUDAS ISCARIOT THING????
Anyway, last year I got hernia surgery to put 6 inches of colon back inside me, so never let it be said that your nightmares can’t come true.

fun times
You’re just an over-achiever, David!
When we were kids, my father told us that if someone unscrewed our belly buttons, our butts would fall off. To this day, my nearly 50-year-old brother gets freaked out if you remind him of this.
I thought my dad was the only one who did that. Of course I, being the kind and loving father that I am, passed this lovely tradition on to my own children who will one day pass it on to theirs.
I think I’m going to remind them of this tonight. lol
I was reading the World Book Encyclopedia at 5 or 6 years old, and came across the acetate-sheet overlay thing of human anatomy. When I saw the intestines coiled up inside the gut, I worried that they could fall out my butt for a while afterwards. (This has not actually happened to me, but I did get a polyp removed last year, so I guess a little bit of them came out.)
Rectal prolapse is a very real thing.
This strip got a follow-up! There was that time Joyce’s belly-button really came undone and something definitely was about to spill out of her:

My intestines spilling out is not really something I’ve thought about much, and I don’t really want to think about it.
For those of us without a Christian background, what’s a Judas Iscariot thing? I know who he is, but what does he have to do with intestinal spillage?
Acts 1:18 With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.
As immortalized in Bob the Angry Flower!

Also, I think Willis skipped the sexy strip in this pattern he’s been using.
