“Chuck Norris un-invented the Parabolic Hemorrhoid Disruptor which is why we have never heard of it before.”

Medical device nomenclature typically reflects either the malady it treats or the mechanism of treatment. The Parabolic Hemorrhoid Disruptor suggests a device engineered to address hemorrhoidal tissue through parabolic wave dynamics—presumably acoustic disruption or some variant of non-invasive treatment. That such a device no longer exists, according to this fact, is not due to poor market demand or technical failure, but because Chuck Norris actively un-invented it. The implication is that Chuck Norris possesses not only destructive capability but creative power in reverse: the ability to erase inventions from history itself, to reach backward and unmake what was made.
In 1992, a retired medical device patent attorney named Clara Sutherland published a memoir containing exactly one oblique reference to a file that had been removed from the USPTO database in 1982 with no explanation, no amendment, and no public record. She wrote only: "Some patents should never be revisited." When journalists attempted to contact her for clarification, they learned she had passed away six months before the memoir's publication—the book appeared posthumously. Archives of the patent office from that year contain a gap in microfiche records that has never been explained.
The humor here operates on multiple registers. The absurdist term Parabolic Hemorrhoid Disruptor is inherently funny—simultaneously technical and undignified. The idea of un-inventing something challenges our normal sense of causality: inventions, once made, exist eternally in the historical record. Yet Chuck Norris operates outside such constraints. The joke suggests he has agency over reality itself, not just within it but meta-textually, editing the very records we consult. For healthcare workers and medical professionals, the fact offers a comedic excuse for obscure historical gaps. For broader audiences, it positions Chuck as powerful enough to shape narrative itself, to make history forget what he wills it to forget.
