Well, I get the feeling most of you always knew what you wanted to do. Me, I didn't. I was just a kid for a while. Oh then one day, well, my father had this fabulous library in the back of the house, and when I was, about eleven, I guess, I found this medical textbook. It had pictures of the male and female anatomy. Well, I thought that was pretty interesting. I use to read that book a lot
Zach:
Were you interested in medicine? Or were you just into the pictures?
Mark:
No, I

Hello twelve

Mark:
And from the book I diagnosed my own appendicitis
Next day I went to our doctor down the block. Sure enough, acute appendicitis!
They rushed me right to the hospital
Well, I figured this book
Would cover ev'rything
The rest of my life
And when I was thirteen, I had my first
Wet dream. I went right back to the book
Milky discharge, Milky discharge, milky discharge, Gonorrhea! I was in shock, I mean gonorrhea! Before I'd even started. I was terrified. I couldn't tell my mother I had Gonorrhea! So, the book said, drink a lot of water
Zach:
Is that all the book said?
Mark:
No, it said take penicillin, strepto-something-or-other, but I couldn't do anything about that unless I told somebody
So all I could do was drink the water
And I drank like twenty glasses a day
For three weeks. I almost drowned. Finally I went to confession and told the priest that I had gonorrhea! Well, he was in shock too
"Who have you been with my son?"
Nobody. Nobody
"Then how can you have gonorrhea?"
I told him about the book's diagnosis for milky discharge and he set me straight. It's the only time the church ever helped me out. Well, I was
Connie
Four foot ten!
Four foot ten!
That's the story of my life
I remember when ev'rybody was my size
Boy, was that great. But then everybody started moving up and, there I was, stuck at
Four foot ten!
Four foot ten
But I kept hoping and praying
I used to hang from a parallel bar by the hour
Hoping I'd stretch
Just an inch more
'Cause I was into dancing then, and I was good. And I wanted so much to grow up to be a prima ballerina. Then I went out for
Cheerleader! And they told me: 'no dice, you'll get lost on the football field. The pom-poms are bigger than you." I spent my whole childhood waiting to grow
Val:
Tits! When am I gonna grow tits?
Paul
Secret, my whole life was a secret
Mike:
One little fart! And they called my "stinky" for three years. Ah!
All
