SO TRUE

Key Quote The Makes Us Wish We Knew What a Sultana Is: "I've seen men coming in with (testicles) the size of a sultana and they haven't realised (it's a problem).

Update: Here, thanks to Lisa Gibson, is the Wikipedia entry on sultana.

Sultana = raisin

[Mike Billips]

A sultana is a female sultan. Duh.

That makes me wonder how "normal" Brits walk around.

[fivver]

Genital examinations, which take about 30 seconds

Sometimes faster isn't better...

[Siouxie]

I'm guessing a sultana is kinda like a raisin...

[blurk]

Some men have nuts the size of raisins and they don't think it's a problem???!!!

OOOOOKKKKAAAAYYYY.

Quote:" To raise awareness of men's health, the male reproductive health centre Andrology Australia is producing orchidometers or different-sized beads."

Sort of like the tooth thingy they use to match crown color at the dentist office?

[Siouxie]

wowsa!!I didn't see your post up there Davem. I was guessing.

[vin39]

Let's hope this is not the definitive answer:

The steamboat Sultana was a Mississippi River paddlewheeler

[Mitch Connor]

I just googled "Sultana" and found that it is a steamboat. So yes, testicals the size of a Sultana would be a problem.

[Mitch Connor]

...testicles, that is.

[insomniac]

having testicles compared to raisins could be adding insult-ana to injury...

[jet69]

Yes, according to the ever-knowing Wikipedia, a sultana is either a) a type of grape/raisin or b) a steamboat. Regardless of which your testicles closest resemble, I'd think it might be a good idea to give your physician a visit...

So they keep saying how important it is to know how you measure up. But they don't say there's anything you can do about it. So who gives a bleached anus?

[ellie (nods to our friends across the pond)]

It all sounds like bullocks to me.

[fivver]

So testicle has nothing to do with finding out if a person is ticklish? Well that explains a lot.

[Siouxie]

I'm sure this guy doesn't have that problem.

A prune, a sultana
What a wunnerful thing
A prune, a sultana
Ain't no big thing

[Dad-O-Lot]

Gives new meaning to the song, "We are the Sultanas of swing"

"...Australia is producing orchidometers or different-sized beads."

What do orchids or beads have to do with testicles?

[lilrascal]

"It could lead to osteoporosis or thinning of the bones. And it can also be a sign of infertility, with a higher risk of developing testicular cancer, Prof McLachlan says."

In the spirit of Ron Popeil, is there anything possessing a pair of raisinettes can't do. I can only imagine the side effects for treatment of the condition. Warning: If you experience an erection of your petuitary gland, for lack of a penis, for more than four hours contact a Physician immediately. A good one.

[Jeff Meyerson]

ellie, you meant bollocks, right?

[philintexas]

Yeah ladies...when we grab our family jewels, it's all about self health research.

[tweetywill]

So, Jeff...
What you are telling us is that in order to express my "admiration or pleasure" I could exclaim "that's the dog's bollocks (and/or testicles)!" and any Brit within hearing distance would understand that I was feeling admiration and/or pleasure?

[ellie (standing corrected)]

err...yeah. Note to self: run spell check before posting.

"Bollocks" is bad, "dog's bollocks" is good. Not sure what's going on there.

[Moon]

So, is a sultana considered to be large for a testicle or small?

/Heads to the doctor

[Moon]

Ellie, Never Mind the Bollocks!

;D

[candyt]

I thought orchidometers measured orchids. Silly...

[Ross]

Thanks for the article.

You have given me a new raisin to live.

I am very grapeful.

She's apples
