Reading all of the above responses called to mind a class in medical school where we learned the answer to: “What is the longest nerve in the body?” Answer: “the one from the ass to the eye” Everyone wondered how they figured that one out. Response: “Because when you pull a hair out of your ass hole it makes your eyes water”. Maybe this very nerve takes a detour to the penile tip. ---

yeah i found this because i was looking to see if anyone else figured this out haha… i only do this when i pee… i find that even after i’m “done” peeing, that i haven’t truly finished, so i scratch that spot, and some more pee comes out haha and it does have a sharp itchy feeling, but not painful! lol 😃 ---

On the right side of my chin, right on the jaw bone, there’s a spot that, when pinched or scratched, causes my inner ear to ache terribly. ---

Great. Not only do we gotta deal with another zombie, _this_ one we gotta watch out for fecal contamination if he rends our flesh. ---

I get a tingling sensation in my backside when the hairdresser goes around my ears with the electric shaver thingy. ETA: If the zombie threads are coming from Google searches it begs the question: What the hell was the person searching for that led them to this thread? ---

I typed in: “penis hurts butt crack” and this zombie was the first hit. Methinks either zombie SDMB etiquette will soon die thanks to Google Search, or there’s a very long list of thread locking to be done. Perhaps hire a temp and help the economy? Sure was fun to see an old post from Satan. ---

I find just the opposite. When ever a new poster comes in and revives an old thread, it _gives_ me a pain in my ass.
