  Coffee enemas have been used by doctors and veterinarians to stimulate a groggy patient when nothing else is available. I expect someone getting one would feel energized, but no more than if they drank the pot orally. Taking it rectally is just a faster way to get pumped full of caffeine, but don’t let that give you any ideas, coffee lovers.

  Thanks for the great cartoon and all the other info, Les.

  Maki, thanks for an excellent comic. Hope you don’t mind that I reproduced it in whole. I’m adding you to my Google Reader as we speak.

  *scratches his chin* Oddly, my great but slightly wacky great-aunt keeps sending my dad links about treatments for a condition he has, I swear, 3 of them seem to have involved coffee-enemas. Which is weird considering it’s his hands which are the problem. *sigh*
