Love a Nurse, Right? Or a Whole Roomful of Them

Maybe you have not had the privilege of knowing a nurse but someday you will because ... Great Circle of Life (music starts playing).


Nurses will help you with the unspeakable things for which no-one else will help.  The doctors don't do it and caregivers often don't have the stomach for the really intimate parts but nurses are right there for you.

It takes a special thing to be a nurse since the doctor gets the medal for saving a life but the nurses do whatever is necessary to help you make it happen and they rarely get medals for it.


For the sake of Mister Peabody and the Wayback Machine, we have the Deaconess Hospital dormitory for its School of Nurses which was conveniently located across the street from the ACACIA fraternity, the incipient Animal House of the University of Cincinnati and where it was my pleasure to hang out.  I met Cadillac Man there and we have been close friends ever since.

Three of us were seeing girls from that dorm at the same time and I'd like to report a Coffee, Tea, or Me situation but there's not much salacious ribaldry in it.

This was the one time when I delivered my bit on The Sex Life of a Liverwort to a group of nurses and brothers from ACACIA and I confess alcohol may have been involved but there was more salacious ribaldry in the story of that liverwort than there was in my actual life.

Note:  I haven't forgotten Sherry X and she was a lovely girl from Rushville.


That's a roomful of determined females filled with a whole lot of love and you have to be to even consider what they do.  The less-determined ones have already dropped out and it's a big accomplishment to earn that cap.


Sure, you're scoping the girl in the center on the third row, laddie, but lose the bed bath fantasy since she's going into infant care.
