Apparently there are different types of suppository,
Do not assume like I did that all suppositories are for the curing of piles. I have had a bit of arse based pain (not caused by the cock in case anyone asks) and did the man thing of asking my mates rather than a medical expert "It's a farmer" stated Thommo "Get some suppositories and poke one up you chute 3 times a day and the little fucker'll retreat".

To Morrison's treks I and sees suppositories on the shelf and promptly selects a packet, not wishing to linger around what I had christened in my mind 'The bum grape aisle'. After getting home, barricading myself in the bathroom and gingerly slipping a KY'd suppository up my tea towel holder I went about my business.

Until some time later when a strange and unpleasant feeling eminated from my lower area. I shot upstairs and shat out 3/4 of a pint of arse water with similar effect to a Karcher pressure washer and a reduced Glycerin suppository. Apparently to be taken for constipation. Not bungy jumping blood vessels.

Well how the fuck should I know, it's my first arse grape.

Europe
In many (continental) European countries medication is more often dispensed via suppository than a pill to be taken orally.

Hence the joke...
...about the English tourist complaining that the tablets he was given weren't very effective.

"I could have been sticking them up my arse for all the good they've done!"

Heeeheeee,
I suffer from the arse grapes and have a prescription suppository. My boyfriend didn't like the joke about him helping administer my medication!
