I just remember a time when saying vas deferens brought the house down.
For me it was always testes. Say testes to kids in the 8os and you had people falling out of their desks.
It’s all gotten too serious if you ask me. Show them a penis diagram now and there’s no snickering. Just questions. I want to say, “Don’t you guys see that hilarious penis?!”
It’s so weird-looking!
And soft.
[Laughter]
I used to have students who would name the penis on the spot. Like, “What’s this penis’s name, Ms. Jaworski?”
They just wanted an excuse to say penis.
[Laughter]
Did you let them name the penis?
[Laughter]
Of course. Everyone named it.
What was the best name?
Reba.
Reba the Penis.
A penis with a woman’s name. That’s funny. Plus it’s a country singer.
So funny.
Yeah. Those were the days.
Do you think we’re expecting too much of kids these days? Think of the pressure they’re under. I couldn’t get into the college I went to if I had to apply today.
Maybe it’s our job to teach them to laugh at things like scrotum…
[Laughter]
And Labia
Minora or Majora?
[Laughter]
Seriously. We owe these kids the humor we had.
I don’t want to live in a world where saying clitoris doesn’t incite laughter.
That’s not a world any of us wants.
Reba!
[Laughter]
