35. My husband had out-patient eye surgery a few years ago

It was supposed to take no more than two hours, it took eight. The surgical nurse came out and told me it was because he would not stop bleeding. They determined it was because he had been taking one regular, full-strength aspirin a day for several years.

Apparently, Trump is immune from anything that would harm a normal person.
