As medical disorders go, haemorrhoids (yes, it's the British spelling, ok?) is quite a “comedy” condition. Almost definitely because they’re on the bottom. The arse. The posterior, the behind, the derriere. They provide comedy material and many, many hours of amusement, probably due to the combination of the pain of someone else, and let’s not forget; IT’S ABOUT ARSES!!! Bums. Buns, browneyes, anuses.
