Funny Story (Perhaps More Than One!)

In my History of the Middle Ages class yesterday, we were discussing women in the middle ages. When our professor got to how a woman's menses is considered unclean, sinful, and so on, he said, "during the month of her period... I mean time..." the woman is isolated. Yep... he slipped and said month. If that's not a Freudian slip, I don't know what is! Most of the girls in class caught it, too.

He then went on about how men didn't want to have to deal with that sort of thing and then asked, "How many guys here would go out and buy tampons for their girlfriend?" There was a bit of a pause while all of the girls in the class (maybe about 20) snickered, and then two of the ten guys present raised their hands...

Dr. Fortin then imparted a little story: As he was at his girlfriend's place last night the dog went through her purse, pulled out a tampon, and started chewing on it... xD

Ah... I love studying medieval history with Fortin.
