Look, Iām not proud of where Iām at in life. Iām 34, I work the drive-thru at a Burger King thatās seen better days, and my car is held together with prayers and a 2014 bumper sticker that says āMy Other Car Is a Lawnmower.ā So when I tell you I bought a Flexible Oil Funnel, Reusable Flex Funnels for Automotive Use, 14.7 x 6.7 Inch Spill-Free Oil Change Tools for Most Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles (Green) for $8.99 on Amazon, I want you to understandāI wasnāt thinking about oil. I wasnāt thinking about cars. I was thinking about my colon. And not in a spiritual way.
You see, the night before, Iād been dared by my buddy Carl, who also works the fryer and once ate a whole pickled egg for a ten-dollar bet, to find out what happens when you use a Wera funnel rectally. I didnāt even know Wera was a brand until I typed āWera funnel Amazonā into my phone at 2:17 AM. This is the part of the story where I should mention I was also three Red Bulls deep and listening to a podcast about cryptids. So, yeah. My judgment was... compromised.
The funnel arrived in a bag that looked like it had been through a war. Itās green, floppy, and has a long, flexible neck thatās just begging to be misinterpreted. Now, Iām not going to lieāthe packaging said āfor automotive use,ā but so does a tire iron, and Iāve never tried to wedge one of those into my backside. Not yet. But this? This was like a plumberās snake had a baby with a party hat. And at 4 AM, you start asking yourself, āCan you use a Wera funnel rectally?ā The answer, dear reader, is yes. The question is should you buy a Wera funnel for that purpose.
I wonāt describe the act itself. Iāll just say it was less āspill-freeā and more āthis is going to ruin my rug.ā There was no oil involved, thank God, but there was a moment where I really thought about my life choices. The flexible neck? It does flex. But it also does something elseāit kind of... grips. Like itās not letting go. And once you realize youāve bought a 14.7-inch funnel that is technically reusable, you start to understand why some things are best left to mechanics and masochists.
So hereās the verdict: If you need to change your oil, this funnel is fine. Itās $8.99, itās green, and it wonāt spill. But if youāre asking about automotive rectal use, or if youāre like me and you Google āis Wera funnel safeā while holding it under a bathroom light, just stop. Go to sleep. Eat a pickle. Let Carl find his own answers. Iām done.
