Blowing smoke up your ass

[Dave A]

Apparently this is a Tobacco Smoke Enema Kit (1750s – 1810s).



The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient’s rectum for various medical purposes, but primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims.

A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke into the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration. Doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase “blowing smoke up your ass.”

As you are most likely aware, this odd tool is still heavily used by all levels of government.

Nah, don't think I can, you gotto have somebody who needs his a$$ blown, and then you need a blower who speaks out of his a$$ to do the blowing.

That's why it ended up in General Chat

I concede it's been a while since I've displayed my more mischievous side on TFSA, but rest assured it's still alive and kicking
