nobody asked…

Whether or not your dog’s testicles — or lack thereof — concerns you, this one will give you a good chuckle! Maybe even a pause for reflection on just where the hell our focus and priorities are as a nation. Read on…

I’m not a fan of Jim Rome or his syndicated sports talk radio show. The smooth style and voice of Dan Patrick on ESPN Radio is more to my liking, though there are times I would like to punch Dan out for so obviously trying to make a story where there is none. In the course of a normal work week I do listen to a lot of sports talk radio as I spend time in the car driving between customers. A couple of years ago it was political talk radio - ugh! - and before that it was wall-to-wall public radio. Next year it may be oldies or jazz or whatever. But this year my no-sleep remedy while driving is sports radio.

So last Friday I was cruising up I-40 from Nashville to Knoxville and hit one of those areas where I could not find anything worth listening to. This happens every trip and I started kicking myself for leaving my CDs at home. Soon the Scan button landed me on some little 500 watt station out here in the middle of nowhere that was airing The Jim Rome Show. Almost ready to give up and turn it off, I realized that good old abrupt, abrasive Jim was not talking sports - he was talking about dog testicles.

More precisely, he was talking about a new product on the market called Neuticles. It turns out these are synthetic orbs sized and shaped for your dog, implanted when he is neutered to give him a natural look and feel. There was also something about giving him the confidence to carry on a normal life free of the ridicule of his un-neutered peers. I promise, I am not making this up! You’ve just got to see more of this for yourself at the manufacturer’s site or at this third party site.
