My Best Question So Far

We have lecuture one day a week for 6 hours. That doesn't sound like much, but some days I would rather set red fire ants loose upon my flesh than go to lecture.

Sometimes in those eternal lectures, I ask a question. Sometimes my questions are probing and intelligent, and sometimes they are simply to lighten the mood and give everyone a good chuckle.

My all-time best question was last semester when the teacher was lecturing on the proper insertion of Foley Catheters in Men (the tube that is inserted in the penis to drain the bladder). The standard Foley catheter is about a foot and a half long.




I calmly raised my hand, and with a very sober look on my face said, "Now, have you ever come across the situation where the tube was not long enough to fit in the organ in question?"

The instructor fell silent for about 5 seconds, pondering my question.

Then realizing the joke, she jumped up and sputtered out amid many laughs from the class, "No, I have NOT ever had a man who was longer than the catheter!"
