Personal Grooming

I think this is one of the most disturbing and unlikely illustrations ever to appear on a mainstream media news site:

That lawnmower concept really makes me uneasy. But I guess it makes sense considering the fact that it accompanies an MSNBC news article dedicated to personal grooming (and written by the same guy who recently published this article about female genitalia enhancement).

Speaking of personal grooming, out of my three favorite personal stories that people have told me over the years, two of them involve pubical hair and personal trimming. So in no real particular order, here are three of my favoritest stories ever:

1. My friend Stacy finds a block of wood and a $100 bill in her freezer instead of the expected Hot Pocket.

2. A certain couple I know, who will remain nameless, have been dating for quite a few many years when they plan a romantic getaway. He mentions to her that she should prepare herself for a big surprise. She obviously assumes a wedding proposal is imminent. The big trip comes, her nerves are in a bundle as they get settled in their hotel room. Then the moment arrives; he shouts from the bathroom "You ready for the big surprise?" and walks out, buck naked, to reveal: he had shaved himself bare down there. Surprise! Not quite the jewels she was expecting.

3. My last favorite story also involves personal grooming, but I can't tell it because the involved parties would probably be mortified.

I probably have heard better stories than those. But my mind is just a clutter of random thoughts and non-sequitors. It's got no index.

I re read my hot pocket story and my favorite part was your comment.You were grossed out by hot pockets and showed your distaste for them by using the work hork.

Wow that's the worst graphic ever. EVER. Personal grooming - I'm surprised they didn't have a shot of a man holding a pair of hedge clippers or something...

That 2nd story is hilarious, what guy would consider that to be a "big" surprise???

How come I can't think of what the last story is? I want to know it so bad. You better tell me later, jerk.
