Alphecca

The professor for the human sexuality class I took in college was Dr. Lehman.

It's interesting how often those type of things come up.

I will never again look at the decocking lever on my pistol the same...

About 40 yrs ago, there were partners in a Colon Speciality Medical Practice in Houston. Their names? Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Butts.

To comment on the actual story, if someone circumscised me as an adult, I wouldn't be in any great hurry to stick it in anyone...

What age were these men? Why does circumcision reduce the chance of contracting AIDS, other than my comment, above?

My brother got his vasectomy by Dr. Hackett.

Someone's name reflects what they do for a living?

I don't think there is a real word, but a humor writer for the Washington [com]Post uses the following:

'aptonym' meaning, obviously, an apt name.

I would say it belongs in the dictionary, but the writer is a putz, and I wouldn't want to give him the satisfaction.

I had a skin cancer removed by Dr. Basil Cutlip.

My dentist's name is Dr. Krowne.

Over on Dave Barry's blog there's a firm policy of making note of the all the people who's name they're not making fun of.

Wonderful!

They've finally found a potentially acceptable reason to justify maiming newborn boy children. Isn't that just too special?

Peet (ask me how I really feel...)

Cool, I'll have to print that out and fax it to my urologist friend Dr. Richard (Dick) Chopp here in Austin.

I also remember a Dr. Looney who worked at Timberlawn Psychiatric in Dallas.

My wife's gynecologist's name is Dr. Anne Payne.

I remember an execution in Virginia, many years ago. Someone closely associated with it was named Fry (not Frye).

"Why does circumcision reduce the chance of contracting AIDS?"

Cleanliness. The Jews probably did it for the same reason. It's easier to keep clean - no little creases and folds for germs to hide in. This applies mostly to Third World countries where soap and hot water are used less often. There's not much difference in AIDS stats between cut and uncut males in the West.

Don't know about all that, but I was circumcised twice. There just might be something to it because I am in my 7th decade and I was way less than careful. Yet I have never had an STD. Of course it has now been awhile since I ran my traps, being married and much in love with my lady. But I still think of my health in that regard as nothing short of miraculous.
