Oh. GEEZ!

I was sitting at work innocently listening to NPR cuz generally it's the least offensive station... it's not hard core rap or head banging metal or swirly, twirly country ballads ...

I turned it up a notch listening to a story on Jewish deli food. Cuz. Well. ANYTHING about food captures my full and undivided attention...

And then the story moved on and I tuned out --- comforting NPR voices gently mumbling away over to my right

And then?


And then I hear the word "vagina" and "penetration" and "fluid"

Oh - good grief! Where is the volume button and why did the building's white noise machine turn off just at the very moment those words were spoken?! They were ECHOING around the suite... vagina vagina vagina......

Geez, oh, geez, oh geez!

I don't even want to think about vaginas or penetrating or fluids with ANY of the people I work with.

What happened to the talk about pastrami on rye? What about mustard and kosher and and... where'd the FOOD go?

Shew...

I turned the radio way low...

It's some crazy story about countries where it's important to marry virgins. Some genius developed a fake vagina virgin contraption. It provides some sort of barrier and some fake blood.

Wow. Talk about inventions. Who was the test group for THAT product?

Hey! (light bulb over my noggin) Maybe I could go as a virgin for Halloween!

Oh.

Wait.

I guess no one would be able to tell what I was exactly....

I can't believe there is a market for that!!! I have to think that in countries where one has to fake virgin sex, being caught for faking might be a bad thing. I hope nobody gets 50 lashes for fake blood!

short of being a nun...a chastity belt would be funny though!

Too funny. I was listening to the same program so the story segue from deli rolled beef and kishka to vaginal fluids and penetration made perfect sense. From your perspective however, it really was a 'what the hell?'

Yeah - who knew?! It sounded like it was for more Asian countries like Japan...? But I turned it down and wasn't listening THAT close...

We were invited to TWO Halloween parties this year but they both fall on the night we are headed to Denver to see Steve Martin play his banjo... our costumes were gonna be Jesus and Mary.

Ah, steve martin! Have fun!

I had a college roommate whose boyfriend went as a priest for halloween and she went as a nun. It was extra funny because she was jewish.
