I've heard the balloon shaving story before by one of the nurses that
prepped me.  I told her that I was more afraid of...well...getting "woken
up", so to speak, and how embarasseing that would be.  She said that it does
happen, but the men are a lot more shaken by the experience than the nurses.
My best friend goes under the knife next week for a varicocele removal.  He
said that the shave job was a scarier prospect than the surgery.  I told
him, "Wait until the anesthaesia wears off.  You'll be changing your mind
then!".

So, did anything ever, say, "pop up" while you were giving the old chariot
wheels a trim?

HeeHee... That's the nurses' job. One of MY fav memories of my student nurse
days! NOT! :-) They actually had us practice on balloons covered with
shaving cream. After the first few pops, you HAVE to get good, lol! So don't
worry, boys, your, ahem "boys" are in good hands... :-)
