Christmas Tree 4930 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Imagine being chained to somebody for 24 hours a day, unable to eat, sleep or even go to the bathroom alone. That’s the reality the Galyon twins have faced for 57 years. The Extraordinary People series returns with the tale of the Galyon twins, the oldest surviving male conjoined twins in the world. Ronnie and Donnie are joined together from the sternum down to the pelvis. They have their own internal organs but share a lower intestine, penis and rectum. In the 1950s, technology wasn’t sufficiently advanced to separate the boys and both of them survived. As they got older they decided they didn’t want to be carved apart. They worked for three decades in circus sideshows, supporting the rest of their family. Now, they’re 57 and their health is declining. Their younger brother Jim, who is the twins’ lifeline - shopping, cooking and making sure his brothers get out into the world - has a dream. He wants to take his brothers to see their favourite baseball teams playing. Only trouble is, it’s 800 miles away, and the Galyon twins have trouble moving 800 yards. Sometimes the Extraordinary People shows have felt a little like freak shows themselves, dressed up as documentaries on the flimsiest of pretexts. But this episode is sensitively handled, moving, and even has moments of comedy because of the Galyon’s ability to laugh at themselves. Raises just so many questions..... Who wanks? Who pushes the fart out? Who wipes the arse? Do they both pay tax? And many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4930 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Where to let ones mind wander first.... If thoughts turn to "incredible oral" within 10 seconds, you have passed. If they turned to double nagging, you have been married too long Edited March 18, 2009 by Christmas Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4930 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Why did the American conjoined twins move to England? The other one wanted to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
