tampon blurb

i read this on someone's diary.

"I have a very important issue to discuss. Something has perplexed me this evening. Immediately upon my return home from poker night, I used the toilet facilities. The box of tampons I had purchased earlier today in anticipation of the arrival of my horrible Aunt Flo was sitting next to the can. I happened to read the first line from the back of the package. It says, "These tampons are available in two absorbencies: Regular (6-9 grams) and Super (9-12 grams)." So I ask all women: Has anyone ever taking the time and effort to collect and measure the uterine waste to determine which absorbency best suits their needs? This is something I have never contemplated attempting. Was I absent that day in Health Class? Did I miss some sort of important lesson on being a woman (that would explain a lot, actually). How does one accomplish this task, I wonder. Would one just sort of...ummm... perhaps insert a small graduated cylinder and just wait...or what. I don't know. I am just real glad I wasn't the scientist who developed these standards."

that was the highlight of my day. perhaps my day. perhaps my whole entire year.

all i know is that i love that individual who wrote it.
