Scrotums
The topic today is scrotums. Gravity is not our friend.
Forever we’ve heard stories and jokes about women’s breasts sagging with age. I worked with a woman who wore vaguely inappropriate blouses covering her large breasts. My old boss said, “By the time she’s 35, they’ll look like someone threw two bowling balls into a pair of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s socks.”
Well, you men, have you noticed your scrotum sagging down, and then down a little more? Will your testicles reach your knees? There isn’t much you can do about it except accept the inevitable. Sorry, guys.

“A Confederacy of Dunces” by John Kennedy Toole, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1981, 12 years after the author killed himself. The hero is Ignatius J. Reilly, lazy, flatulent, and highly educated, he follows the teachings of Boethius, a medieval “sybil of a nun.” Set in New Orleans, this hilarious novel addresses education, ambition in the post-modern world, and especially, race and race relations in America.

“Runaway” by Del Shannon. Released in 1961, the 45 was selling 80,000 singles every day! This video is from David Letterman and it’s a rare live performance (not lip-synced) of “Runaway.” Why he changes the lyric from “…where she will stay…” to “…where you’re gonna stay…” is beyond me, because the extra syllable is unnecessary, and the resulting lyric doesn’t scan. Nevertheless, it’s a solid performance.
