When I jumped off the elevator on the third floor today, there was, staring me right in the face... a research poster (the Urology Dept. was obviously proud of this one) with a very large photo of something similar to what is shown below. Only the one on the wall at school had a (very) real penis in it. The poster was on Peyronie's Disease, which is a disorder of the fibrous tissue in the penis. Ok, fair enough. But really? A big penis picture as a welcome to the 3rd floor? I'm not normally a person who laughs when I hear the word "vagina" or snickers when the professor says "clitoris".... but this made me laugh. Good for a giggle and a double take.
At least it was a large penis?
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! I guess the penis is "the new breast" as far as the new taboo body part to display publicly (Forgetting Sarah Marshall anyone?)
ReplyDeleteHow common is Peyronie's around there that they are advertising treatments like that? I thought they just did surgery to correct it, didn't know Full Penis Traction was involved. Can you imagine having to wear that thing? That might take some 'splaning, or a doctor's note?
In their defense it wasn't an advertisement. It was a research poster for the urology dept.
ReplyDeleteI see, that makes more sense (sorry, you did say it was a research poster in the post - I think I got a little distracted by the picture).
