Haha. That's pitch perfect.

Aww, I was hoping they'd toss one last zinger in there when you actually try to buy the thing, but instead I just got a 'POST not allowed' error. Lame.

Still, a very funny site.

It's nice how it comes with a mild sedative. I prefer to be calm when performing surgery on myself.

Um... I think I'll leave that to the professionals....

I'm not sure about their Lasik gear, but I strongly recommend their home appendectomy kit. The cool thing is you get to keep all the scalpels.

In reference gurple's post not allowed comment above, it's sad that the error is preventing you from seeing the actual page.

Should I bring all my shoes and glasses? So I have them?

Dr. Khadim has nice glasses.

Totally brilliant. I read somewhere that the click-through fee on the term Lasik is one of the biggest.
