Yesterday was weird

Published

My med-surg unit tends to get a lot of um...quirky patients. Yesterday we were chock-full of histrionics, roommates who hated each other,screamers, moaners, and my favorite: the lady who accuses everyone of stealing her things.

I'm not kidding, every five minutes she called the ER to accuse them of stealing her $100 dollar lace panties. Despite a concerted effort by our unit and ER staff alike, no panties were found. Which brings me to my question: Have you or anyone you know ever been in possession of a pair of panties that cost $100 dollars? Where does one buy such panties? Are they threaded with gold? Discuss.

I think the perineal grooming habits of young ladies across the land has become quite serious. Pubic hair has, in fact, gone totally out of style, I've observed...

Right? Although the "latest" trend is to go "retro"... Cameron Diaz is all over this new trend apparently. Read it somewhere on the web ;)

When my husband saw the men's version, his immediate comment wasn't printable either! He also said I knew darn (or something close) well he had astro turf when I married him and he wasn't about to give up his homegrown longjohns at this late date! Thank Gawd

his back isn't hairy too! Maybe my age is showing, but I love his fur.

My husband can't figure out why grown men want their women looking like 12 year old girls unless they have pedophilic tendencies. Good thing too, because there is no one on the planet for whom I'd suffer through a Brazilian!

I had the upper half of the pubes shaved for a surgery once, long ago; it is AWFUL as the hair starts growing back....getting STABBED by coorifice pube hair wakes a person up from a deep sleep; and ITCH? YIKES! Never again!

From what I know, if you're wearing Bracli panties this is not usually a concern. Seriously, you guys are going to have to google this, I'm not posting links :woot:[/quote.....Thanks for that-they are lingerie/sex toys!Not meant to be worn comfortably.What a genius idea.Not exactly my cuppa tea .....but akin to panties with a butterfly attached(Google that,prn)

Wow. This thread has been quite eye-opening. Thanks for chiming in, guys! One final thought: Would you agree that much in the way that a car depreciates in value the instant you drive it off the lot, so too does the value of undergarments plummet the minute it touches one's undercarriage?

Thanks guys.

I needed a laugh! If I ever see these in the ER I can tell my coworkers that I know what they are.

They look uncomfortable, yikes!
