body bits
By beth | October 9, 2007
The building where I have my afternoon classes is also the building where they teach the nursing assistant classes, so a couple of the classrooms on my hall are equipped with hospital beds and such for the students to practice helping each other get up and down, use bedpans, sit up, eat, roll over, etc. They don’t practice the sponge bathing on each other, though, so for that, they have dummies. So in one of the classrooms and also out in the hallway, there are these big metal racks with plastic body parts strewn all about. There are torso bits and butt/leg bits, and I just noticed the other day that there are also private bits.
I had noted previously that the dummies had no private bits. There’s just a large hole there. Like big enough to put a cabbage in. Maybe that’s how they practice birthing dummy babies. I don’t know, but anyway, I saw the other day that they have these other plastic privates that fit into the holes, so you can make each dummy male or female. Unfortunately for the dummies, all the torso bits are middle-aged men. There aren’t any booby bits, and all of the heads have receding gray hair. But I guess as long as it has a vagina, you can’t go squabbling about the hairline. Clearly it’s a woman.
ANYhoe, it reminds me of that part in Flight of the Conchords’ “Something for the Ladies” when he starts talking about hermaphrodites with their sexy lady bits and their sexy man bits too (sexy lady man lady). Crack me up.
