Neuticles

Thursday, November 11th, 2004

If you had told me before yesterday that, “there’s nothing more absurd than a company that sells prosthectic testicles for neutered dogs,” I’d have said, “you know, I think you’re probably right. That is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.”

Ah, but but that was before yesterday. Because yesteray, Jacob Grier sent me this story, about a 41-year old man whose “dream” is to have an artificial testical designed for Great Danes and Saint Bernards implanted into his own scrotum, to replace the testicle he lost.

That article was written five years ago, which I guess means that today, we can hope for the best — that Jim and his implanted artificial dog testicle are getting along just fine.

God bless America.

    Some Economics of Neuticles

    What’s a neuticle you may well ask? You’ll probably be shocked, but there is some microeconomics involving economic rents, asymmetric information, and monopoly profits behind their existence. But first off, I’ll tell you that this isn’t a joke, and
