Two vaginas?
And THIS?!
Click the image to see it full size...
Yowsers. Will have to wait for SA Doc's comment on this. She's still at work.
I think this is two vagina lady's blog: I have two vaginas!
A quote from the article, if you will...
So, who calls bullshit?

When I was dating, I'd just say, "So I have a little something to tell you." I never got any other reaction except, "Oh, my God, that's so cool," because they'd want to have sex in both sides and see what it felt like. Apparently, the right side is, well, more normal. The left side is a lot smaller. But they're both tight. That's a plus. I've got two G-spots, too, so I've always appreciated men who were extra dexterous with their fingers. I get to have two orgasms at the same time.
So, who calls bullshit?

Best Of All Scrubbed Up (Part 1)
Not enough bloggers take the time to go back in the archives and rehash some of their best material... Egotistically speaking of course.
But we're different.
So, in case you didn't catch it the first time round - here's a quick series of posts with the REALLY funny stuff, the most viewed, the most commented, the dugg, the undugg...
Welcome to Best of All Scrubbed Up!
- - - - -
Talkin' about foreskin
More than a year ago, we started this blog with but two simple goals. Have some fun and make some statements about the South African (and international medical fraternity). What better way to start than an expose on what really matters to guys.
Their... well, thingies and the end of their thingy.
FORESKIN EXPOSE PART 1 - To chop or not to chop
FORESKIN EXPOSE PART 2 - Revenge of the Sif.
- - - - -
TV Doctor Showdown...
Doctors are all over the tube. They're in our face and up our proverbial skirts. And mostly... (well according to SA Doc at least)... they're a bunch of bollocks. So how would they fair when placed in a real-world tough-gun situation. Say... ummm... a night in Baragwanath in the TRAUMA ward (AFTER a Chiefs vs Pirates soccer game).
Find out here :)

TV Doctor Showdown - Perry Cox

And there ends the lesson. What do you think of the BEST OF selection? Let us know in the comments...

GUEST POST: Superhero Surgeons - It ain't all Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll (by Bongi)
Welcome to the third, in an initial series of 3 guest posts by our Mpumalanga HeavyWeight... Bongi. He's witty, he's irreverant - he's a little whack.
But it's all in the name of demystifying the doctor. Or not.
Enjoy SUPERHERO SURGEONS - It ain't all Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll!
If you like Bongi's work - visit him here! Wear a glove. Spread the love.

yes i have an alter ego. yes, i dress in funny clothes with a cap covering my head and a mask covering my face. and yes, dressed as such i try to fight the powers of evil (mainly sepsis and bleeding and cancer and the like). i am ... a superhero.
but there is often little understanding for what goes on under the paper thin masks and baggy gowns we wear. certain …um…occurrences, well, occur with us just as much as with other people.
a common cold behind a theatre mask is no small thing. remember you can’t blow your nose. sniffing loudly only works for a while and attracts all sorts of strange stares. just leaving it is really the only option. the positive side of this is you suffer less from the mild dehydration that accompanies massive loss of …mucus. there is, after all, fluid replacement (it is a very short trip from your nostrils to your mouth over your upper lip). ‘nuf sed. somehow this never appealed to me though. so, for all you budding surgeons out there, when you have a cold, plug your nostrils with tissue before scrubbing up. once you’re scrubbed, it is too late. The side effects are only a slight change in voice which is a small price to pay to avoid the constant lip licking and salty taste throughout the operation.
then there is a running stomach. this may be one reason to excuse yourself, handle the situation and rescrub. however, there is the real problem of dehydration, confounded by long hours of standing and concentration. here may i suggest a drip. the gas monkey (anaesthetist) can quite easily give a quick bolus or change the vaculiter when needed. (quick note, i’m not pulling this out of my thumb. i have actually seen this). stay at home, i hear you say? somehow that just doesn’t work with us doctors. i’m not sure why, but it is very rare that a doctor will stay at home merely because he is sick. what sort of a superhero would that be.
the last problem that can be encountered is best explained by thinking back to my registrarship. i was assisting the prof with some or other laparotomy. my stomach had been giving me trouble for some time. up until just before scrubbing up with the prof i had found it necessary to quietly leave polite conversation to allow the release of colonic gas quite a number of times. but once scrubbed up, this avenue was no longer open to me. what could i do? i simply puckered up and held it all in. this worked well, but became progressively difficult. we were approaching the end of the operation, but i could pucker no more. finally i reached a point where i had no choice. i needed release. i decided to quietly let one slip as to not attract too much attention with loud noises. so, as the professor started to close the sheath, i did just that. i was just inwardly congratulating myself for the stealth with which the…um…operation had been executed when the professor stopped closing and dived back into the abdomen. in a dry voice he quietly says, “someone cut the colon.” as he started carefully moving bowel out of the way to better examine the colon. now imagine my embarrassment when i was forced to say’...
“colon? yes. cut? no”
