The Truth About Balls



I happen to be a big fan of vasectomy's. In fact the only issue I see with them is that not enough people get them. Even worse is the problem that the guys who do get them are the ones who have good, strong qualities that are worthy of being passed down to future generations. The other guys - you know the ones I mean - propagate their species like there is no tomorrow and produce legions of lazy, abusive and, far worse, unattractive children.

My point is, men who step up to the plate and get a vasectomy are heroic. Really. And I've become a little bit fixated on the matter ever since one of my friends told me about his experience. He said that he was led into a FREEZING examination room. (That just seems mean, doesn't it?) He was a little bit nervous and sat there twiddling his thumbs. Eventually a very large female nurse came in and invited him to remove his pants and underwear. He was instructed to sit on a METAL table in the cold room - pantsless. Here is where the weird thing happened...she - without appropriate warning, mind you - grabbed the end of his penis and PULLED it (like I said, it was a very cold room). She then duct taped it to his leg, leaving him to think WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! She never explained the purpose. In fact, she never even said, "So. How's it going?" or "Listen, man, brace yourself as I'm getting ready to try to find your penis which will have retracted itself into your stomach as it's cold as hell in here. Then? I'll yank it really hard and tape it to your leg. And, go."

She must have sensed his need for retrospection as she left him alone in the room - for 30 minutes - naked in a cold room with his dick taped to his leg. While he was sitting there he was trying to imagine why this action might have been necessary. The procedure is done on the balls. Was his package so enormous that they were worried it would be in the way? Maybe the guy before him got an erection and they now tape that shit down to prevent something similar from happening and embarrassing everyone? I really want to know. And this is why, every time I meet someone who has had a vasectomy I ask my question, "So...did anyone grab your junk and duct tape it to your leg??"

I have yet to have anyone else say yes. SO. Where does that leave us? Should my friend sue? Leave a tip for above and beyond service?



Please either turn your head and cough OR click on the humor-blogs link here. I'd guess that, after a week of being on vacation my ranking is somewhere below the Save the Dust Mites Blog.

You mean this didn't turn him on? Ha! I guess my hubs is into some freaky deaky shit!

Listen, we gals have to have things shoved up our coochie just to make sure we're healthy, men deserve some discomfort! ;op

I thought the photo you used with the post was sooo funny. So that's what they look like naked and middle aged! Ha!

Ehh...I went ahead and had my plumbing ripped out and it's been AWESOME.

Bee - I appreciate your use of the word "coochie" since that's what GirlChild and I use. Can't wait for her to hit sex ed and find out that that is not the technically correct word. Sort of like finding out about Santa.
No. They did NOT tape my unit to my leg. They did NOT use enough anesthetic for my surgery either, but that's a different story.

Come on, guys can't complain. It's far more complicated for us women to have our tubes tied. I think having his dick taped to his leg for 30 minutes is the least a guy can do, especially if his wife has gone through the equivalent of pushing a watermelon though a hole the size of a donut.

Bee - I've always pegged Andy as a Freak. And I totally agree...we have the kids. They can sit on a bag of frozen pees for a day.

Beck - It's actually yarn. But it looked...appropriate somehow. Glad you like it!

Alice - I thought about it but chickened out. But now I am SO sick of the monthly cycle...I am thinking perhaps I should have.

Jeff - I know. WHY did they do it?? I'm thinking about getting the name of the doctor and calling to ask. Because I REALLY want to know. Maybe it's a practical joke and they do it to guys to see if one of them says, "No way, Jack. Get that shit off my hose."

Theresa - You've got that right. They have to impregnate us and then bring us ice chips and try not to say anything stupid while we're in labor. It really is the least they could do. OFF WITH THEIR BALLS!

Wow. Is it strange that I so want to try this duct taping trick on my husband this weekend? I've got to think up a way to keep him in our freezing ass bathroom so he can't get out for half an hour, and of course I'll need to set up some cameras. But, this sounds like my kind of Saturday night!

I actually asked to and was allowed to watch my ex get his vasectomy. Unfortunately they didn't tape his dick to his leg, it just laid politely limp and off to the side. He stayed in bed with the ice bag and whined for a week. Try pushing a kid out and being up to take care of it the next day.

After watching one vasectomy, a very simple procedure, I now consider myself an expert and whenever anyone mentions the possibility of getting one I offer to do it. If I ever have any takers I will definitely use the duct tape method.

The only guy I personally know that had a V left it way too late. By the time he had it done he'd had 15 children with 12 different women, and flames tattooed on his penis. One of those.

I'm debating on whether or not I should put Brad under the laser. I mean, I wanted to stop at one, and now I'm pg with #3? And yes we were using bc!

Men all over the blogosphere just crossed their legs - tightly.

Hey I guess if you're going to cut into the twins you might as well bring the duct tape.

Ouch.

Donzer - So. Did you do it?

Honjii - I would imagine that the penis getting out of control during the surgery would be the least of the problems during surgery. The thing that cracks me up most about this is that he just sat there like that for 30 minutes. I wonder what he would have done if they'd wanted to stick a twig up his ass at the same time. He sounds like a pretty docile guy....

Marie - 15 kids! Jeez. I guess I'd better quit bitching about three! (Which is actually not that bad, BTW.) As for the V, I've never met a guy who regretted doing it.

Damon - Yeah, it curled my toes, too. And not in a good way.

Florida: The Good. The Bad. The Holy SHIT!!!

So you know...I live in Florida now. The good news is that my southern accent is stronger than ever - I think it was some sort of defense mechanism...of or for what, I have no idea. I definitely miss Atlanta and my friends, though, especially now. Spring in Atlanta is SO beautiful. But Florida is pretty nice, too. We go to the beach at least once a week and we all love having a pool in the backyard. Also, my husband makes me a Planter's Punch every night and I don't even feel guilty by knocking it back - we're on vacation, right?? A couple of weeks ago I was reading the news and saw this weird picture: In case your eyes can't make sense of it, I'll give you a hint. It's not a puppy. I'm guessing it's not an air freshener, either. It is, in fact, a Burmese Python that ruptured and now has a really big dead Alligator sticking out of it's stomach. Oh, and something ate the snakes head off. That's why there is no head there. National Geographic has

Oooohhh...I just LOVE when you wrap it around me... do it again, please?

I had heard that "crack" kills. I just never really believed it until I saw it with my own eyes. (Bless his heart.) About 3 years ago I was 6 months pregnant and had two daughters (aged 4 and 5). We were all traveling from Bellingham, WA to Atlanta, GA with a VERY brief layover in Dallas. We were booked on a major airline that should remain anonymous as they are a bunch of asshats (but they rhyme with "Mamerican Mairlines") and we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 AM in order to catch our 7AM flight. It was Suck City. By the time our car arrived in Seattle my husband and I were barely speaking to each other and the girls had marks on their faces and arms from the backseat smack-down they had while out of our reach. When I went to the counter to speak with the representative she informed me that even though our seats had been purchased many months ago and seat assignments had been given all of that had changed and we were no longer sitting together as a family. I

The Wild and Wonderful World of Animal Butts

Hello, Boys. How're they hangin'?? Several years ago my dad and I were hiking in California. It was a beautiful afternoon and we were on a mountain trail. We came upon some kind of farm that had a fence around it. Suddenly I saw it - a pig lying down with his "sac" squeezed out behind him. It looked as though someone had stuffed two basketballs under his skin. My first thought was, "Holy crap, pigs can get elephantitis??!" This was quickly followed by thought number two which was, "I would give anything to be sharing this experience with anyone but my father ." So I did what anyone could do in such a situation. I took a picture of the pig balls. I decided that I would put it on the cover of my Christmas cards that year and when the card was opened it would say, "Deck the halls...." I haven't done it yet but I will...yes, I will. You may be wondering why I brought this up. It has to do with baboons and Darwin. At the risk of dramatical
