I can vouch for Candy Baggs, Crystal Ball, Cookie Fudge, and Margaret Moyston-Cumming. The latter used to work in the field of reproductive health, IIRC.

HE DOESN’T WANT US TO KNOW DICK  
The long and the short of it, is that there’s nowhere to hide for a poor guy with a \<penis\> complaint.

A man who claims he was short-changed when he underwent \<penis\>-lengthening surgery had asked the court to allow him to sue Dr. Robert \<Stubbs\> under a pseudonym.

A Superior Court judge, though, has nipped that attempt in the bud and denied his request for anonymity. And so we would be entirely within our legal rights to tell you the plaintiff’s name. We could. Ah, but should we?

“He’s just a little guy; he’s nobody important,” insists his lawyer David Corbett…

Now Dick is a middle-aged salesman from York Region who learned about \<Stubbs\>’ new “\<penis\>-enlargement procedure” from stories on TV and in the newspapers. In October 1995, he went to have his organ lengthened at the plastic surgeon’s Toronto clinic.

ILLUSTRATION: photo MYTHICAL … David Suzuki begins a new season with a look at penises – but not his.

David Suzuki wants you to know he has a big one. A big show to air, that is…

It seems that Suzuki has also discovered that double entendres are unavoidable when researching a show about penises.

“The doctor who does (penis enlargements) here in Canada is named Dr. Stubbs,” he reveals. “And he learned the technique from a Chinese doctor named Dr. Long. Can you believe it?”

I had a dentist in Bedford TX named Dr. Tuggey. She was the best.

I also worked with three people whose last names were Peters, Cox, and Bliss. They used to go on business together. We always thought it was funny that wherever you had Cox & Peters, you were bound to have Bliss!
