I went to a strict all-girls Catholic school. It was junior year. I was late for Chemistry because my swimming class ran ten minutes behind.
I rehearsed my apology as I ran down the hall in my wet, blue dress and squishy saddle shoes. The instructor, Sister J, was a very sarcastic nun who often licked her lips and rested her large bosom on her lab bench. She did not tolerate tardiness.
I ran in the room. “I am so…so…sorry,” I began.
Sister J: We were waiting on you. Put in this video.
Me: Oh okay, I am so sorry, swimming ran late.
I put in the video, turned off the lights and sat down to catch my breath. Then, the following magic took place:
I snickered. My lab partner laughed and we heard a chuckle behind us. Suddenly, girly giggles broke out throughout the classroom and I just could not hold it in anymore and began crying from laughter. Crying.
When the video ended, I flicked on the lights.
Sister J looked at us and shook her head. “Ladies, you should all know better, and Miss M [that would be me], you are a pervert!”
I was shocked! A pervert! Why was I the only pervert!?
Then I remembered the day there was a naked guy seen walking in the woods next to school and I hauled my sweet ass to the window to check him out (for the record, I had never seen a real naked guy…as it turned out I wasn’t missing much).
I am reminded of this story because this morning my coworker looked out the window and shouted, “A NAKED GUY!” and once again I hauled my sweet ass over to the window like a puppy excited to see the mailman.
Eleven years later at 28 years old, the video still makes me laugh and apparently, I am still a pervert. Somewhere Sister J is shaking her head disapprovingly.
Whatevs, Sister J, I just love to laugh. Laughter, love and naked guys are pretty much what make this world go ’round, anyway.
as soon as i read Sister J calling you a pervert, i was thinking it takes one to know one. honest healthy cool post

If there was a naked guy outside your window and you DIDN’T go to see him, I would say that there is something horribly wrong with you. Regardless of what they look like, regardless of their size, tall, short, fat, skinny, beautiful, ugly, ALL naked men deserve women hauling their sweet asses to look at them!

I think that nun should have pulled her head out of her… habit (ahem)… for just a second and realized that you CAN’T say the word “balls” in front of a classroom of kids who are older than 7 – at least not without expecting some giggling. Add a creepy chemist stroking his fully-charged rod to those balls, and you’re asking for trouble. If you ask me, the nun had it coming to her…. hee hee… I say coming…

OMG. I laughed so hard. I think this remind me of a video I had to see in health class at an all girls Catholic School. It was about checking for prostate health, and it featured a man in a steamy shower with smooth jazz saxophone music playing. I burst into laughter and then so did the entire class. When the lights flipped on my teacher asked what was so funny. And I told her, that was the weirdest video to ever show an ALL GIRL class.
She looked really puzzled and started laughing too, she actually had no one ever say that checking balls was weird for a girl to know in the 2 years she had shown it. And all these years later I still die of laughter when I hear saxophone music… especially in the song “Careless Whispers.”

I came over here from Madame Weebles’. This is a fabulous post. I am not Catholic, but I am guessing Sister J NEVER laughed about anything sexual. All discipline. OY!
I had a hard time believing this video was made at all. It’s ridiculously suggestive. This might have to show up on my blog, it’s so great. Also the hiccup stick. Wow. You found some good stuff.
I hope to pop in and read your blog again. Keep up the good work. It’s fun, isn’t it?
I also learned something today, not sure if I’m glad about this or not–bukkake. It is this kind of stuff that makes me a bit sorry I have daughters in today’s world. Or maybe I’m just a prude.
