February 5, 1999 (4:00 pm) | going down the tubes

Oh shoot! I was going to write something really great but I completely forgot what it was. I just got off the phone with my friend and we were talking about tubes and I was laughing really hard and now I don't remember why.

Good god this mind of mine! I must excercise my brain ...ya know... cuz these days...

I would think we were talking about fallopian tubes but that doesn't trigger anything in my mind. Oh! But I know we were talking about choices. As in, if my friend had a choice she would chose the word testes over testicles. But then I intervened and asked her why would she have a choice, after all this is a free world and you can say testicles all you want. And then she retorted back that IF she had a choice... and then somehow we ended up giggling about the woman who was on the Howie Mendel show, showing off these purses she makes out of buffalo testicles.

But somehow I still don't see how that connects to "going down the tubes."
