Life is a little slow right now. No Elvis sightings I think he realized I was on to him and he’s layin low.
So I’ve been reading these books off and on that my mother gave to me. ‘Why Do Men Have Nipples?’ And ‘Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?’ I don’t know why their picking on men… I’m sure it’s not personal since the authors are men. The books are just answers to questions we all have but don’t want to ask. So on my boring days I thought I might share the occasional question and answer that strikes me as interesting. Why not share the wealth, I mean I don’t need to corner the useless information market all myself.
CAN YOU LOSE A CONTACT LENS IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD?
(I don’t wear glasses so this isn’t a concern I have… I just thought it was funny.)
‘It is common for people to come into an emergency room because they can’t find their contact lens. Sometimes it is found folded and tucked beneath the eyelid, but other times it is nowhere to be found. So where is it???
Probably on the bathroom floor at home. A little anatomy lesson: There is nowhere else for it to go.
Other commonly “misplaced” items that lead people to the ER: Tampons, condoms, and car keys.’- Why Do Men Have Nipples, Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, M.D.
Okay CAR KEYS!!! I just can’t imagine where people lose those… UGH. Ang

Car keys!!! Too funny! I misplace my keys everyday but I never think to go to the ER.
I know where I DON’T lose my cars keys…LOL…
Too funny – how many martinis do you have to have before you go to the ER for lost car keys? Have a good day!
Car key???? LOL I don’t even want to know!
They didn’t mention gerbils?! Hmm. I heard a lawyer say one time that there is a whole section in the law books entitled “Lost and Forgotten Tampons”. Forgotten? How do you do that?
I think guys have nipples purely from a creation standpoint. Women needed them, and they don’t hurt anything to have them there, so it was easier to leave them on men than remodeling the human torso. Obviously, I have way too much time to think about stuff like this.
Finally, one time my D1 stuck a little piece of plastic from a fake flower up her nose, and couldn’t find it. She was about three. I looked up her nose with the flashlight and didn’t see anything, so I told her not to worry about it. For several days, she kept talking about it. I told her it probably went out the back of her nose and eventually into the potty. She wouldn’t let it go, so I got out our gross anatomy book and showed her how her nose is connected to her GI tract. She finally let it go.
Eeps, I’ve had the contact lens stuck up in my eyelid before, it’s a little terrifying.
My friend’s mom is a nurse… apparently, it’s entertainment for the nurses to go and watch whatever the procedure is when people get things stuck places.
I think I want to read that book! CAR KEYS?????????????
i’ve had my contact lens go up in my eye…..and i admit…i have panicked at times when it happens
Oh, my! I feel like I did something totally wrong about 15 years ago… When I lost my virginity, should I have gone to the ER?
I have yet to want to put my car keys THERE in the first place. OW!
Why men have nipples? For they were once in a female unisexual state for the first few weeks in the womb.
Sorry i haven’t been around to much lately, where still having xmas for the next two weekends. Life in a large family!
LMAO..okay, I have to read that book, hehe.
And I would love to hear stories from ER docs and nurses, about some of the things they encounter. OMG, that could be hilarious..and so very nasty too.

Thanks, I do treasure those gifts. And really, it wasn’t a ‘nah nah nah’ thingy, hehehe. I swear…
Sillyhead!
Have a wonderful weekend, dear.
Hugs,
LeLo.
I would absolutely love to have a piece by Sterling. If I sent you a check for one + shipping and handling would you get me one? No pressure. REALLY!!!
RYC: I’m having my gallbladder removed this coming Friday.
My contacts used to constantly slip to the top of my eye. Reason #1 why I don’t wear them anymore.
now i’m going to wonder about people and their keys all night…. shit…
now i’m going to wonder about people and their keys all night…. shit…
I had dinner with Elvis last night. He says hello. And I don’t even want to know about the car keys. Eep.

Ummmm I can imagine where ~ but, I have an active open imagination
***True Story from an Emergency Room Nurse I know***
This man came into the ER by way of a cab - he had a broom handle stuck in his rectum – they had to call his wife. Of course he wasnt at home – one could only imagine why anyone would want to sit on a broom handle??? {{{LOL}}}
Morning, I would lose my butt if was not attached, [glad it, is hate to be without my fanny, morning business would be the shits] no pun intended
Thank you so much for the kind words and the link. He has a bowl I might purchase as a gift for someone. I will certainly keep an eye on his stuff. amazing. Now that I have that don’t worry about when you go to Detroit. For some reason, I just assume he was in art-o-mat only. Which really doesn’t make sense but that is what I thought.
Again, thank you for your thoughtfulness. I’m less on edge today.
oh wow, this reminds me of the time my aunt the nurse told me of the woman who came in and had a potato stuck up her – you know- … and it was growing tentacles and all.
(sorry anyone who was eating lunch in front of the computer!)
