You wont believe it when you read it !!

Quote:
(CNSNews.com) – The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex.

Hey, a million here, a million there; pretty soon you're talking about real money.

Well they got to do something after the Pope told them condoms won't prevent AIDS. I guess washing their junk after the deed is the next best way to prevent STDs...

...besides not having sex because we all know there is nothing else fun to do in Africa but have sex and burn the other tribe's village...

I remember reading in one of Andy McNab's non-fiction books (he is the SAS trooper of Bravo Two Zero fame) that while he was training recruits for the British Army he had jump in the shower to demonstrate the proper bathing techniques because the average British recruit didn't know how to stay sanitary (he included washing the foreskin for males so equipped).

This is really making me rethink my feelings toward men in uniform. Seriously, I'm not gonna buy a second hamper just for poo-poo undies.
