On a lighter note, imagine, Joe, that when your 4 score years and ten have exhausted you, your treasured appendage could carry on for more years at it .....................

It may have an effect on those who send 'duck pics' around. You don't those to end up in a catalogue. We have all heard those stories of peiple being drugged and waking up to fund a missing kidney. It could be worse....

I suppose one could be presented with a catalogue of available willies.
Photos grouped into 'large' 'fat' 'medium' 'small' 'long and thin' and all the ethnic varieties. And scrota of different dangliness etc.
It might cheer up the recipient to have a nice choice set before him.

Like you Steve I hate late November. Once the clocks go back and the days shorten I feel rather low and very sleepy. Demotivated. It seems to get more difficult each year. And Remembrance Day is so sad too.
Husband hates January the most. Crimbo is long past and the end of winter seems to drag on. Only the Pantomime (Aladdin this year) to look forward to.

Thanks for the background info, Jeri. That's interesting about the bone marrow. I'm saying a prayer for this victim of an IED.

I had to go look, too. Apparently, the guy got blown up by and IED, and lost both legs in addition to the penis & scrotum. What I found interesting was that they transplanted bone marrow from the donor, in order to mediate the immune response.
Sorry about your dad, Steve.
Is late November the worst? February's pretty bad, but there's hope in the spring. Now, we're heading into a cold, dark winter, so maybe it is.

... and I have to pass this on:

I went to Google News to look up the story in the original post,
and got badly distracted.
I mean, what does one expect for results with
the words, in quotes, penis and scrotum transplant?

Well, a whole gallery of story headlines,
and one of them said, with quotes around it:

"All of Nashville can breathe a sigh of relief"

speechless

"Late November," he says.
Why does that bring to mind the Song of the Weather?

Bleak September's mist and mud,
Is enough to chill the blood.

Then October adds a gale,
Wind and slush and rain and hail.

Dark November brings the fog,
should not do it to a dog.

Freezing wet December thennnnnnnn .....
BLOODY JANUARY AGAIN!

Penis and scrotum transplant? That makes me a bit nervous. I think maybe I should change the donor designation on my driver's license. When I made the designation, I didn't think THAT was included. Can they at least make really, really sure that I am really, really dead before they do anything?

And it was probably extra tough to find a donor whose equipment matched that of the recipient's original. Imagine you're one of those guys whose urine stream tends to flow a bit leftward, and you've spent a lifetime automatically making that little rightward adjustment. Then if they replace your original unit with one that pees to the right you're gonna wind up pissing on the floor every time. You'll have to carry a mop around with you for the rest of your life.

It's been bad lately. My dad's died, Keith's died, it's late November (the two dirtiest words in the English language) and we are enduring brexit. Lowness has never been this low.

So, you know how you occasionally read a newspaper headline that's so outrageous that it would spoil your fun to read on? Well beat this. In today's Guardian magazine there's a headline wot sez I performed the world's first penis and scrotum transplant. The sub-headline sez It was tough to find a donor...

There's a whole article in there to follow that, but I couldn't read another word. To do so would ruin the pure beauty of that beginning. I absolutely needed no more.

God forgive me...
