kittenscribbleExcerpted from an email from my aunt in Canada:
--
Bill Richardson, writer, broadcaster, serious bookish funny man, was on CBC FM when I was driving home. He was talking to a woman about Christmas decoration. They are making angels for Christmas tree. The next thing you know, he was talking to the curator of the Museum of Menstration in Washington (DC or no DC I'm not sure). This year is the 70th year that tampons are made available commercially.
To celebrate the tampon's 70th birthday, they are using them to make angels for Christmas trees and hang them by the strings!!!
Bill: I am going to use Tampax because that's what my mother used to buy. They are the most absorbent.
Woman: Bill, if you are going to make angels, you should use OB because they flare!
Bill: I can slice open the 2 sides of the bottom of the Tampax and dip it in water and it will flare out by a lot too.
Curator: That end is not the bottom but the top of the tampon...

...it's important to know which end of the tampon is the top, I suppose.

At least he could say "tampon"... a lot of men can't!

Date: 2004-12-10 09:30 pm (UTC)When I was in college, someone sent around a link for a book that listed uses for tampon applicators once they'd served their purpose. The only one I remember was a tampon applicator model of the starship Enterprise. With distinctive warp nacelles.
