The “Gym Annoyances” thread reminded me of an encounter I had last week.
I used to live in an apartment building, and my neighbor was this 50-something Jewish lawyer. He lived alone, since his wife had passed away and kids were grown up and living elsewhere.
I’d frequently walk with him to the nearby train station for our daily commute to NY. I eventually moved away, but still commute from the same train station. I probably see him 5 times a month or so, and we always exchange some small talk. There was never anything weird or different about him, and for lack of a better description, he was about as typical looking of a middle aged professional Jewish lawyer as one might imagine.
About a month ago, I saw him at my gym. He mentioned that he had just joined. Last week, after I was finished with my workout, I entered the locker room. I was making my way to the wash area, sort of looking down, when I saw a pair of hairy legs sitting on a bench with an exposed penis. What was peculiar about this penis was that something resembling a metal bolt went completely through the glans. My view of this penis probably lasted a tenth of a second, since I instinctively looked up. And guess whose face was smiling right back at me.
I then pretended that I didn’t see what I saw and quickly said hi and walked right past him. He didn’t even try to hide it, so I’m guessing he didn’t care. While washing up, I wondered whether he had any difficulty urinating since the bolt appeared to go straight through the middle. I can’t imagine how it wouldn’t affect his urethra. But I haven’t seen him since.
I was certainly shocked. Please share similar encounters.
