Goddammit , my whole family is here for Thanksgiving . I can ' t have a boner right now . <| sep |> slightly related anecdotal anecdote timeMy dad worked for the BBC on radio cars they usually broadcast via satellite or 34 G these days , but they used to have to put up these big fuckin radio antennas on top of the vans . You weren ' t supposed to get up on the van while the thing was on because the RF is potentially damaging . They actually go up and down automatically so you don ' t have to mess with them manually . I don ' t remember all the details of the story , but one day , during a job the satellite isn ' t making contact 10 mins till broadcast , and you can ' t just NOT go on air So he sets up the antenna instead . Part way through the process , the satellite connection begins working again , but he has to do something manual on the roof to reset it . So up he goes . Messes with the hardware , etc , all is well , satellite works , broadcast goes out , no problems . Except when he ' s packing up for the day , he realises he left the antenna up . and on . He realises he ' d been fiddling up on the roof with this highpower antenna pointed directly at his melon for about 5 minutes . Regardless , he doesn ' t think too much of it , turns it off , takes it down , finishes packing up . About a week later a coworker notices one of his irises is WAY dilated , and the other is WAY contracted Anisocoria . He goes to the doctor , they ask him the usual questions are you on any medication ? Did you hit your head get a concussion ? Have you had an eye infection recently ? Nope , Nope , Nope . Long story short , they give him a CATscan , and they don ' t find anything . But his eyes are permanently contracted , and don ' t react to light . He can see fine , and doesn ' t have problems focusing , but they ' re in permanent brightness mode . He ' d had lots of CATscans since , due to persistent migraines and other stuff . But to this day he still reckons that 5 minutes on the roof next to that antenna microwaved his greymatter , and buggered his eyes somehow . I don ' t remember the point of that story . TLDR dad nuked his bonce on 11 for 5 minutes , now he can ' t see in the dark .
