The Vagina Monologues: A Blogger Asks Rep. Stamas For Synonyms

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the state representative who got banned from speaking on the floor of the Michigan state legislature because she used the word "vagina." Well, this inspired my friend Brendan. I can assure you, he really does make these phone calls to elected officials all the time, and they really crack me up:

***

“What about ‘baby-hole’? is that OK?”

“Sir–”

“Or ‘pee-pee place’? What about “special secret spot’? I’m just asking for guidance.”

“Sir, i can’t help you. Do you even live in this district?”

But I like "special secret spot", too.

It's amazing that so many can be so disrespectful (or deathly afraid of) such a wonderful thing as the place through which we ALL entered this world.

Assholes.

I laughed my way through the whole thing! What a brilliant use of the telephone--I only wish he'd recorded it; it would be a YOUTUBE hit!

We went to a birthing class attended by a number of young Amish mothers and fathers. They referred to it as "the baby door." With very straight faces.
