…Greek style makes ‘em hairier too

Last sum­mer a team of researchers from the Massa­chusetts Institute of Technology set out to better understand the effects of yogurt…Then the researchers spotted some­thing particular about the males: they projected their testes outward, which endowed them with a certain “mouse swagger,” Erdman says. On measuring the males, they found that the testicles of the yogurt consumers were about 5 percent heavier than those of mice fed typical diets alone and around 15 percent heavier than those of junk-eating males…

    I’ll be waiting to see how Dannon works this fact into their advertisement. Maybe they can joint venture a new line of men’s underwear with Fruit of the Loom.

    [T]he testicles of the yogurt consumers were … around 15 percent heavier than those of junk-eating males ….

    1. Not surprised, if you’re gonna eat your own junk.
    2. Why was “males” specified? Offhand, I’d think that would be obvious.
    3. Maybe it was the vanilla, not the yogurt.

    Let’s all guess whose dime paid for that, and Danon don’t count.

    I dunno – when I see a mouse, my first reaction is unlikely to be “Wow, didya see the nuts on that thing?”

    I’ve got about 5 lbs. of testictules over here that would beg to differ.

    I have no idea what to do with them.

    Maybe slap some yogurt on them and get a fair young maiden to… nah, roll over and get a few more hours sleep, you old goat.

    Did somebody mention “the wringer”?

    LAT:
    Republican House leaders have drafted a proposed contempt of Congress citation against Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. in which they charge that he and his Justice Department have repeatedly “obstructed and slowed” the Capitol Hill investigation into the ATF’s flawed Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation.

    Reminds me of that testicular cancer episode of South Park when KFCs were banned and guys put their junks in microwaves to get a ‘script. for medical marijuana and those guys went around town bouncing on their balls like a hoppy ball.
    On second thought, no it doesn’t.

    On measuring the males

    ‘Hi, honey…how was your day?’

    “Spent it measuring mouse-balls.”

    ‘Um…that’s…um…nice…um…’

    Has there been a similar study concerning moth balls?

    Testicles are like boobs in the respect that the older you get the lower they hang. The very last thing I want is for them to be bigger too!

    I do not want to know how they determined the size of the mouse balls.

    Back in the day when the IBM PC was a big deal and the mechanical mouse was the pointing device of choice (as opposed to todays optical mice), there was a lengthy memo circulating at IBM entitled “How to Clean Mouse Balls.” It was an amazing work in that someone had managed to make instructions that had actual utility into a work in which every single sentence was a double entendre.
