Thanks, Chris, that’s one more box on the medical history form for all of us to be aware of. Not that my mother would have told me either.

I wonder how many dudes are out there, blissfully unaware of their double-dipping.

This is a hilarious read. I needed that!

You definitely did have real skin in the game. Pun intended, yes?

😅😂🤣 You have yet again made my day! Thank you, Chris. 😅😂😂😆

Thanks, Mary Beth! You just made MY day! (As for your question, trust your instincts on that one 😂)

I hadn't thought of this for decades, Chris, but when we were in our 30s, my brother and I were informed that, when we were still infants, we had surgery to have our "dick holes" (not the clinical term) widened. We never knew!

By the way (and I can get away with what follows because I'm a Jew).

Q: Why do Jewish women prefer men who've been circumcised more than once?

A: Because it's 25% off!!

Chris Stanton's avatar

Well, that’s quite a revelation too, Larry! I believe the clinical term is “dick tube.”

Honestly, this is a fact that needs to be dropped casually into more conversations. I feel like it’s the seed of a superhero origin story perhaps 🤔

Chris Stanton's avatar

I love this take. Several relevant superhero names just popped into my head 😂

Hilarious!! I’m at the point now where I don’t remember names although I do have cousins I’ve never met.

Lee Bacon's avatar

That’s wild. But at least both circumcisions happened before you were old enough to remember them. Just imagine being told by a doctor you needed that “touch up” now.

Chris Stanton's avatar

Or being told by a woman!

What a way to find out!

When my ex'es mother told him she was having her breast implants removed, he was floored because he never knew she had any. She was floored because she assumed he knew.

Chris Stanton's avatar

OMG, that’s hilarious!

Is there a statute of limitations on parents of adult children calling family friends Aunts & Uncles? Old habits die hard, I guess. Like you, I'm privy to much of the minor goings-on in my Mother's life, but the nitty gritty doesn't pass muster. As for oversharing, I'm glad you see the funny side, even when it cuts.

Chris Stanton's avatar

There is definitely no statute of limitations on that. Once it’s locked in, it’s there for good!

If you can’t see the funny side, life is going to be one hell of a long slog.

Ofifoto1's avatar

True, but there is a difference between laughing at the situation, and with the situation!

Hysterical! Did Babs read this?

Omg bestie, this was nothing short of a delight from snip to snip! 😂😂😂 I’m glad you parents had the decency to demand a return trip to the doc! Imagine how mad you’d be if your mom said, “you know, we thought about doing that with Christoper but it didn’t seem worth the hassle. It’s what makes him unique!”

Chris Stanton's avatar

Thanks, bestie! I’m very glad too! I can’t imagine what the situation would be if they hadn’t. I guess I’d have a twoskin?
