I CAN’T HELP IT IF THEY JUMP OUT AT ME!
It’s a blessing, but also a curse. It drives my wife nuts, sometimes; it also cracks us up, sometimes.
There’s another blooper to come next month, and—if enough authors, editors, and publishers cooperate—every month thereafter.
Enjoy!
* A bit unfair, perhaps. There is indeed a so-called female prostate (Skene’s glands), though I suspect the number of people aware of this is smaller than the number for whom the humor in this blooper is an appropriate reaction to the initially startling juxtaposition on the packaging. The name female prostate was formalized in medical terminology only in 2002; indeed, as recently as 2007 a medical journal could begin a news item by saying “Researchers in Vienna say they have found evidence of a ‘female prostate,’ according to a report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine (2007;4:1388-1393).” Ah, the things one learns, as a specialist in classical music, European culture, and motorcycling.
