Later:
Y'all passed the test! (But what about the ones who didn't respond eh :-)?
If someone can't laugh about or be frank regarding bodily parts and
functions then such prudishness is
* a sign of sexual or other abuse (including arrested psychological
development of one sort or another) which ought to be faced seriously
* a concomitant of 'Victorian' prudishness inconsistent with the approach of
the Hebrew scriptures (which were very frank about such things!)
Of course that doesn't mean we have to be crude (as is most published
humour/humor about sex) or demeaning of women or men (as is often the case,
unfortunately)...
But some things are funny. If a Christian takes himself/herself too
seriously they've got a problem!
