Minding my own business, driving along the I-75 corridor today. Girls, playing/fighting/ignoring/pestering/playing in the back seat.
Ignoring the children and singing along to the radio I continue to notice the over abundance of billboards advertising for Strip Clubs and "Adult Toy Stores." The thought that creeps into my mind...
I wonder if the tampon was originally invented for the stripper.
I know. There's something wrong with me. Makes you wonder though, huh?
No? Just me? I guess I am a weirdo. Hmph.
Maybe I'm weird too because not only do I think that's an intriguing question, I actually looked it up. They were first invented by the ancient Egyptians (Wikipedia did not mention anything about ancient Egyptian strippers, though). They were also used in the 1800's as a medical device to stop bleeding from bullet wounds. And the applicator tampon was created in 1929...by a man.
ReplyDeleteOh, good, I'm not alone. And that is REALLY interesting information. Hmm.... we'll have to look farther into the Egyptian stripper thing. I bet we're on to something...
ReplyDeleteThat is an intriguing question....
