That reminds me of a joke I know about a man and woman on their wedding night – the punchline is “Well, there’s no teeth, but your gums are in terrible condition.”
Sounds like the scriptwriter read the sixteenth-century French doctor who claimed to have seen the serpent that lives in women’s vaginas! There’s an interesting book about various ideas about women’s genitalia in western history called “The Wandering Womb.” My students are both appalled and fascinated by the ideas and fears men have had!

Naw, you were just reading the wrong textbooks! (You should have been reading the ones about archetypes and such in myths. 🙂

I’m pretty sure I’ve already had this nightmare. It happened the week or so before I started residency.
Creepy, but also amusing.
That’s about as scary as I can handle. 🙂 Amusing too.
I don’t think I want to know the end….
But this does sound a bit Freudian?!?!?
