My wife is a medical professional who works in this space and when I told her this joke, she shared that this is not how epidurals work at all.
It doesn't go into the blood stream. It only effects that area. And it wouldn't go to the brain.
She says it's possible it's a psychosomatic reaction. But leaning towards it being a lie.
Shame, solid joke.
Right? This is confusing.
Go for it. Buy a portable DVD player with a portable screen and head phones to watch movies. Buy a clock, a dumb phone, a little portable game device. Buy a magazine with nudie pictures. Buy a camera and take it to a photo place so get physical copies of your dick pics. Mail them to your friends. Buy a megaphone so you can yell racist things to your neighbors.
All of this is still possible right now. No smart phone needed.
