An
excerpt from Live a Little, Laugh a Lot
“A husband
and wife in Beijing exchanged organs in a 19-hour
operation... Husband Wang received wife’s Hou's female
parts, and wife Hou received Wang's male organs in a
true scenario of Hou Wanged Who?”
Funny? Yes
— and best of all, it's true. Award-winning speaker Barb
Bancroft, RN, MSN, PNP, has collected the odd, the
bizarre and the downright hysterical (which comes from
the Greek word for uterus, by the way) in this
wild and wacky volume of medical trivia. And you will
laugh until you cry reading this book.
Did you
know that vibrators were among the first home appliances
that used electricity? Apparently the Victorians weren’t
quite as boring in the bedroom as we’ve been lead to
believe. But everyone should be especially careful
around the bedroom: a 412-pound woman once fell out of
bed, hit her head, knocked herself unconscious, and
suffocated when her enormous breasts fell across her
nose and mouth. Another deadly bedroom fact: a
middle-aged man is more likely to die of a heart attack
while in the arms of younger lover — particularly one
who happens not to be his wife or regular companion.
(Wives: you’ll want to be sure to mention this fact
frequently to your spouse.) |
