Witches, Testicles, and NyQuil
Lying in bed today in a semi-conscious stupor, I've come up with an idea for Halloween. I think I can rig up a cool cauldron/witch thing for the front yard. I have some oversized pots for plants and could paint one of them black, then put a fog machine in it with a green light. But then how would I get a witch to stand by it? I'm thinking just a 2x4 cross dressed in witchy apparel, including an oversized hat. Anyone have better ideas for a quick and easy way to do that? (And am I evil for thinking putting a cross in the yard on Halloween and then putting witch clothes on said cross would be funny?)
Also, I read something about testicles...80% of men have the left one hanging lower than the right one. It's apparently the opposite for left-handed men, however--their right testicle hangs lower. If only I was on intimate enough terms with a lefty to inquire about his testicles. If only. So...anyone care to confirm or deny this factoid for me? Anyone?
Posted by Jennifer at October 28, 2004 12:58 PMWhile I find the dressing up a cross as a witch extremely amusing, I'd ease up on the Nyquil... If you're thinking about indications of handedness through evaluations of testicle elevation, I'm getting worried about you!!!

You brought it up, not me.
Posted by: Jennifer at October 28, 2004 02:14 PMI kinda like the cross idea; I imagine it as sort of a cross between a witch and a scarecrow. But, some parents and other passersby might think it's offensive for some nagging yet unknown reason.
I've heard the story about testicles, too, though I have no idea if it's true. In fact, my trusty old response to the greeting "Hey, Spork, how's it hangin'?!" for years has been: "Oh... Low and a little to the left!"
The guys always laugh. The gals just stare at me questioningly.

Posted by: JohnL at October 29, 2004 01:17 PMNo knocking together, but that's 'cause I wear briefs, and I don't run when I'm nekkid...
Posted by: Jack at October 29, 2004 06:49 PMFor science:
right-handed
left
When I first read that I thought it said "... a 24x7 cross dresser..." and said to myself, "Hey, that would work."
