Could things get any worse!!!
 
2 weeks ago the basement flooded... combination of melting snow and heavy rain (not to mention the eldest step daughters daily 2 hour shower)....nearly a foot and half of water in the basement,its never flooded before. (turns out the construction of some apartments across the street means they no doubt broke the sewer pipe and never made good) ....also....the wife went to investigate the basement after smelling gas, to find the furnace hadn't shut off and gas was bubbling to the surface of the flood water,sensibly she took a flashlight with her...the youngest noticed this and kindly flicked the light switch...the resultant fireball was brief but removed most of the wife's facial hair and gave her that been in the sun without protection look....ok so that was all taken care of ...
Friday last week .....called to the office at work ...lots of apologies and handwringing but the result was that myself and 46 other people were laid off ....ok....no biggie can handle that ....
Now ......
It seems having an extra inch or two of skin on my pork sword puts my wife and maybe one or two others at risk of all manner of nasty infections...this ones a biggie (honest!!)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7960798.stm

Maybe its just the cynical side of me ...but it was no suprise to find that the people behind the report were:-
1.American.
2.American and of seemingly Jewish decent.

The really unhealthy part for me is the American medical professions obsession with cutting loose skin...

Now if you'll excuse me ...I have to check the basement for sewage,wash the old meat and 2 veg,search for employment and try not to snigger at the wifes lack of eyebrows

Too funny.

It's a strange argument. So, circumcision can reduce the risk of catching certain diseases but doesn't eliminate it, therefore you should still practice safe sex, and if you're having safe sex why did you need the circumcision?
