A forum friendly way of naming that particular body part perhaps...

That thread is shaping up to be a good read.

I haven't closed that window all day!

Here's where I found the link to that thread....after reading this post, there was NO WAY I couldn't read the thread!




wha' a Way To Get My Fifteen Minutes of Fame
As if enough hasn't already been said about this, I'll just leave the link to stand on its own

Within days the hit counter to this thread maxed out at over 65,000 hits and responses were posted from every continent including Antarctica. Who knows how many have read that story. I got hundreds of emails; maybe even over a thousand - wha'ever it was, it was a lot. It locked my email account with overflow errors. Dozens from helpful Jeepgal nurses. My dating life will never be the same. Many emailed simply to express their sympathy and tell me dumb stuff they have done (although they weren't stupid enough to post it on the internet). My favorite was a woman working with 5-minute epoxy that glued her butt to a toilet seat (and yes she had to wear it to the hospital). I have been personally contacted by Japanese newsgroups, British media, others I won't divulge, and local radio stations trying to get me to respond with my story. I have gratiously declined all requests since I already got all the "exposure" I could ever want. Sheesh.

After verifying that yes indeedy: Rosie O'Donnell and night shows and Dave Barry and Paul Harvey and automotive magazines and the Darwin Awards and Letterman and etc really were searching for me, I elected to be anonymous. So far, they have honored my request, and I appreciate that.

On a happy note my misadventure has spread knowledge of this website across the enround rollie thing globe and ever since then we have been experiencing strong growth with new members constantly joining our site

The fascinating thing is that after over two hundred posts and twelve pages, we learn that Delta Airlines actually has a written procedure addressing this problem. The solution is located a page or two from the end. Truth is stStranger Ranger than fiction.

The definition for hootus is on Urban Dictionary, and it refers to the thread OP linked to.

Well, that was funny...but I've had a similar problem...seriously...

I was spraying my underbody (of the truck, mind you) and was wearing gloves but didn't notice there was a dribble on the nozzle (why does this sound like something else???) and, wouldn't you know it, I suddenly have an incredible urge to pee...

So, I've got these gloves on and I take the right one off with my left hand, no, I took the left off with my right, and then with my bare right hand I take the left off that just happens to have some of this dribble on the fingers (well, mostly on the backs of the glove..,) and in the process I get semi-wet goop on my right hand...

At this point my bladder is about to explode so I run inside and forget almost that I have this goop on my weinie holding hand (if we ever shake hands, you've shook the hand that shook Luigie) and, careful as I try to be, I manage to get goop on my "hootus"...

Not that I would have posted for help on it, but one never knows...fortunately, mine came off (not my Hootus, the goopus) with regular anti-bacterial soap...

Funny, too, but that soap removes just about anything...grease, oil, paint, hootus goopus...I highly recommend it should you lowly goop your hootus

Absolutely phenomenal. That made me laugh so hard! I'm sensing that hootus will be the word of the day for the foreseeable future.
