Back in the pre-Viagra days, I worked at a mail order pharmacy, and regarding [http://www.caverject.com](http://www.caverject.com), one pharmacist said, “Just give the guy a stick and some tape.”
😛
We had one pharmacist who had a desk job, and he was almost bald too. His head would turn red if he heard the word “Caverject”, and people would say it while walking by his desk just to watch this. It never stopped being funny.
And while I was working there, I once filled such a prescription written by a urologist named Dr. Wiener. :eek:

Me too . . . for entirely different reasons.
And “urethral sounds”? Years ago, I was given a set as a gift. I use them for propping up small plants in their pots, or getting cat hair out of the vacuum.

At least its not in on the pointy ends.
You think that he’ll just wash it and continue eating with it?

Is it time to post the thread [Things I Learned from My Patients](http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=257985) again 😛
I have to think that the thread is ultimately NSFW if there is some sort of nannyware at work. It mentions drug use, sexual foibles and such. Not for the easily grossed out.

Several years ago, I was on vacation, and couldn’t access a certain website on the lobby computer because somewhere in the message board was the phrase “female genital mutilation”.
:rolleyes: 😕 :eek:

Obviously, it was a cocktail fork. :smack:
Bonus points go to the person who finds the Rule 34 site for forks! :eek:
Errr, on second thought, I _don’t_ wanna see that!

There are times when having a visual imagination is a curse. This is one of those times.

I still can’t get over the guy who stuck a full-sized mayonnaise jar up his butt. :eek: What would possess a person to do that, anyway?
THAT’S not as odd as the 3x12 inch plastic toolbox, with the tools still inside. Huh, huh, I said “tools”.

It’s funny, even when the opening post in a thread has a spoiler tag, the text is still visible in the preview when you hover your mouse over the thread title on the home page. So I saw the spoiler :eek:

For us kiwis, it was (apparently) a celebrity with a Marmite jar … (_you either love it or hate i_t, and you might just love it too much :smack:)
I know, I am mixing my Marmites - a mistake that I would never actually make.
