Remember the Seinfeld episode when George had just gotten out of the pool?

[Kalish]

How true was that?

[ret5hd]

1. it's twue! it's twue!

(just thought i'd throw in a little "blazing saddles" humor...but yes, it is very true.

[CottonBear]

4. "Shrinkage"

:rofl:

[ret5hd]

6. oh yeah you just go ahead and laugh you miss laughing smiley thingy...

just go ahead

2. "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things."

Best Elaine line ever. :rofl:

[Kalish]

3. true

one of the best...

:rofl:

[arissa]

5. It's true, and there's a scientific reason for it...

Sperm can only survive at certain temperatures. Therefore a man's body will adjust the package based on whether or not it's cold or warm.

If it's cold, the package is pulled inwards towards the body heat. If it's warm, the package is let loose, away from the body heat. I can't remember where I learned that.

8. We were talking about that last night over drinks.

:)

[Kalish]

10. ok, as far as the testicles go I can see that

and I've known that to be the case...

but the whole damn thing shrinks too. all of it.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. I learned it in my 7th grade health class

It was a chapter on sex and the genitals, so I felt compelled to ask what the deal with shrinkage was.

[slutticus]

17. But sperm live in the sac. There is no reason for the penile shrinkage.

Are you sure it's not the testes that are pulled inwards? I know that happens to me too...

Hmmm....stuff to think about.

[progmom]

7. does this mean you're a girl poster?

[Kalish]

9. it does not mean that

not at all.

[progmom]

14. oh...i just assumed that you didn't have access to the equipment in

question. :shrug:

[Kalish]

15. It was funny

cuz it was so true...

[GOPisEvil]

16. That's interesting.

One would think that if you were male, you'd know all about it.

[Kalish]

18. I know of it

no doubt.

but like I said...it's funny cuz it is so true...

and we could all understand the embarrasement of George in that scene.

a classic.

[JVS]

11. It was the ocean and it is very true. Penises don't like the cold

[slutticus]

13. It's quite true unfortunately.

This is not quite a bodily function thread, but there is WAY too much information being posted here.

Thank you.
