I hope no silent camera phones were harmed in making this post.

I hope no soundless camera phones may ever do any harm.

Here is a service for blessing ships (one of the crew in the last line is listed as "Number 29 without Sauce"...so maybe its a hoax).

I have absolutely NOTHING to add to this, but I did think that

Scrotal flak

should be quoted.

I know I will be working that phrase into MY next dinner conversation.

So, does the Baroness actually have a scrotum or not?

If she does, we can all rest easy in the knowledge that it is free from Scrotal flak*.

(* Cello-based scrotal flak anyways.)

I've got Harpists Arse.

And Flugelhorn Lung.

A BMJ spokesman said the inclusion and subsequent debunking of "cello scrotum" had "added to the gaiety of life".

If the BMJ can do it, I see I'm going to be using this excuse for EVERYTHING!
Mr. Flory, why did you stand on a rooftop and urinate on the parade?
It added to the gaiety of life! :e2woo:

I play the cello, and I have a scrotum. The one has never bothered the other. But I can vouch for Throckmorton's Sign -- it's positive 50% of the time.

Scrotal flak

If someone doesn't use that for a band name, it's just criminal.

Medicine is full of (actual) diagnoses that are teh awesome to say and to read. Pigeon fancier's lung. Little League elbow. Sex headache. Saturday night palsy.

Curious....I felt compelled to open this thread. Evidently Higgins possesses some voodoo mind-control magic.

He must be a witch! BURN HIM AND HIS MAGICAL SCROTUM!

I've got a bad case of BIC butt. Is there any cure?

Pull it out, taking care not to dislodge the cap.

As names go, I've always like Ondine's Curse. I've even seen a few cases.

I missed this first time...

A spokesman for the BMJ said that, 34 years on, no-one faced the sack for failing to spot the implausible condition.

well how could anyone face the sack? It was behind the cello, right? Covered in Flak.
