    “your hot wife obviously is suffering from sexy demons. I need to use my specialized equipment to vigorously purge them from her, once each evening, and sometimes just after lunch…”

      That sounds far fetched until you remember that they diagnosed women with hysteria and treated them by giving them orgasms. When the vibrator was invented to treat muscle pain much later, doctors latched onto them for treating hysteria to give their hands a break.

        Absolutely. Hystéra is Greek for uterus. Hysteria, or the “roaming uteri” theory was a successor to Plato’s theory of hysterical suffocation. They believed that the uterus could migrate around the body, placing pressure on internal organs. It’s like gynecological fan fiction.

          When pregnant that’s a pretty good explanation of what it does though. Uterus just tells everybody up to the diaphragm to get outta the fucking way.

            Duh. Uterus is Latin. Thanks. I’ll edit for clarity.

                I couldn’t remember the spelling of the Greek word, so I looked it up yesterday for that comment. I searched “Greek word for uterus” and then wrote Latin in the comment like a dingus.

                Not only was Plato Greek, but Latin words that end in “us” are pluralized with an “i.” It was all right there mocking me. Lol

                  Wasn’t at all mocking! It wasn’t even me who caught it. My GF was like “Hmmm, thats too internet-only-fact” and looked it up. Just passing it along cause I sure as shit didn’t know lol

                    No worries! I didn’t take it as such. I meant the comment itself was mocking me. I knew better.

        I think that makes up for a lot of bad things that were done.

              I’m not sure I’ve seen that one, but it does seem to have the same vibe.

          well your regular small scale religious cult leader being the main point of contact for every health concern (because they set up shop in a very rural area with a lot of religious conservatism and limited health care). People go to them for all sorts of reasons and when you are a female the general answer is you are infested with demons I can help you personally in my bedroom. It is especially ironic when they go to this person because a female cant get pregnant and then voilà!
