Steel And Wood Work Good

About 25 years ago, one of my younger friends had to have a testicle removed. He was very worried as he had no children yet and very dearly wanted some. I told him that he only needed one testicle and that the second was only a back up.

The surgeon told him that in order to keep his balance in check, he was going to replace the testicle with a wooden ball. My friend raised his fears about not being able to have children and the quack told him that he had nothing to worry about; the wooden ball was brand new Italian technology and would enable him to father children, even if his remaining testicle also went bad.

The operation went well, but the wooden testicle gave him problems. It drifted on the water when he sat in the bath.

Some months later, his only remaining testicle also went bad and had to be removed as well. My friend went crazy with worries. And he told the surgeon that the implanted wooden ball drifts on the water when he baths.

Once again, the surgeon assured him that all would be fine. He said that by using the latest American technology, he would replace his only remaining testicle with a steel ball. This, the surgeon said, will offset the drifting wooden ball and will also produce sperm. He therefore had nothing to worry about. He would have two artificial testicles, both able of producing sperm.

At that stage we lost contact and I did not see him again until this weekend.

Remembering his concerns about fathering children, I asked him about it. With a broad smile he told me that he fathered twin sons about 5 years later. “Here they come now”, he exclaimed. “The one with the long nose is Pinocchio and the one with the flat face is Robocop”.


Have a great week, all of you.
