...cheaper. It is usually done in a doctor's office, under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision in one side of the scrotum and pulls out a length of the vas deferens, the tube through which spermatozoa pass from the testis on the way to the urethra. He cuts out about half an inch of the tube and ties off both ends, and repeats the operation on the other side. It can all be done in about 15 minutes, for an average fee of $75. The man can go back to work the next day, and resume...
...leading the ure ters into the colon, which then empties both urine and feces into a "wet colostomy" bag. After more conventional operations for rectal cancer that has not spread widely, only fecal matter passes through the "dry colostomy" opening in the abdominal wall, because the bladder and urethra are left in tact. Since no two patients' diseases are alike, Brunschwig operations vary in the number of organs and length of bowel removed...
Quouquou often reminds me of other beloved cinematic innovators, such as the great Basque director Urethra Farrebique and her sad, clever husband Max Weber. For Quouquou does not force us to "sap life with art," as Antoine Sibile has put it in a recent issue of Les Fesses. He does not force us, in fact, he lets the whole religious force of his thought sweep over us. And, like a heaven sent storm, even the bilge it leaves in the scuppers of our mind is full of salt.

...more incongruous (to Westerners) aspects of Yoga, including the "painful [Hindu] obsession with the bowel functions, which permeates religious observances and social custom." Like many a Westerner before him, he was impressed with such yogi feats as reversing peristalsis to take in fluids through the anus and urethra, but was depressed by the far-out theories that went with them-such as that the sperm (bindu) is stored in the head and should be prevented from leaving the body at all costs. The result, says Koestler, is that a large number of Hindu men "suffer from what one might call...
...sure I have the same trouble-I have just the same symptoms." To laymen, who think that the relatively useless prostate is the male's exclusive property, this sounds silly. Even doctors, who know from their anatomy books that glands around a woman's urethra are analogous to the male organ, usually dismiss the diagnosis as implausible...
