    As a college student I witnessed both a natural and Cesarean section delivery. I was fascinated (dumbfounded may be the better word) at how they knew how to stitch everything back up again with the latter.

    My daughter was born by Cesarean, but I have no idea what the procedure looked like. I'm normally not squeamish at all, but I had no interest at all in seeing my wife cut open like that. I was allowed in the OR, but they had a curtain keeping me from seeing anything but her head and right arm. (The arm was to give the anesthesiologist access, I think.) When the surgeon asked me if I wanted to see my daughter being born, I looked over at the anesthesiologist and asked if I wanted to see. He realized I meant that I wanted to see the birth, but not the opening they had cut in my wife. He told me to just look straight ahead and not down, and I'd be fine. I did exactly that.

    I was a full 10-pounds when they decided it was time, so I was induced and came ultimately by a C-section as well. Back then dads weren't permitted in the OR, which was a blessing - they would've been picking mine up off the floor. He still tells stories about seeing me for the first time before they cleaned me up to this day. :lolol:

    None of my dads doctor friends liked delivering babies so they all asked my dad to do it

    He brought about 4000 babies into the world including most of the kids in my grade school

    He told one of my very large friends he slapped him twice when he was born :smiley1:

    He also told a groom while in the wedding reception line that he had seen the grooms wife naked

    All of my kids were born C-section. I remember the curtain. I was told to stay behind it or I would contaminate the sterile field. But there was a mirror positioned for seeing what was going on. I just sat there and talked to my wife the whole time. She was awake through them but sedated enough she either didn't feel or didn't care what they were doing. Once the babies were out the anesthesiologist pushed that plunger and my wife went nighty night. The nurse handed me the child and I carried them to the warmer.

    Now, with the grands, I haven't been at the hospital. I wait at home until I get the call. I go see them the next day.

    That prompted me to find other Rodney Dangerfield quotes:
    • I went to see my doctor. I told him once, "Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me?" He said, "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect."
    • My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.
    • I told my wife a man is like wine, he gets better with age. She locked me in the cellar.
    • I told my kids, "Someday, you'll have kids of your own." One of them said, "So will you."

    It is a Rodney Dangerfield joke, not Gleason, though any line sounds funnier in the voice of Sheriff Buford T. Justice.

    This is an example of the bs scouting criticisms of Howard.

    And the only one to pay a price for doing this was the kid of the Atlanta Falcons GM.

    Prospects are going to have to get burner phones just for the draft and only let team officials know their number.

    All B.S. aside, how true do you think this actually is? "Gruden thinks Howard is the best Qb in this draft ."

    I ask, because rumor has it that Jon Gruden will be returning to the NFL next year. Mike Tomlin has never had to develop a QB, and the last 2 years of watching Tomlin chasing Shortcuts like Rus Wilson and A-Rod, should have the Rooney's closing the window on Mike Tomlin's coaching career here in Pittsburgh.

    Would Jon Gruden be ready to go all in on Will Howard if he were to come to Pittsburgh next year???

    Imagine reading a headline like this at the end of the year. :)

    Its possible. Gruden belivess Howard is the Best Qb coming out of that draft. Just saw he posted a pick of Howard at the Pitt football game yesterday.. That be said Rooney isn't the type of guy to bring Gruden in . because of Grudens past . Rooney isn't the type of guy to rock the boat because of someone's past.
