Apparently you CAN put a price on a fallopian tube. It's $70(ish)...

For those of you who may not know, I had a fallopian removed this Spring. While the details of the surgery and the reasons why it occurred are relatively... irrelevant, I have yet another one of those stories that I couldn't make up if I wanted to.

Yesterday, after several days of essentially ignoring my incoming emails, I finally had scheduled some time to go through them. First, I tackled my spam folder. It was the usual hodge podge of AARP, Geico, Viagra and Horoscope propaganda. So after I chuckled through the deletion process (it's amazing what people will email you) I thought I would tackle my Inbox, where I often find relative emails. You know the ones I am talking about...? Emails from friends, the funny 'forward' from a co-worker, the Facebook notice that somebody tagged you in a post and the various professional networking emails that seem to come in by the dozens and are starting to look more and more like spam... :)

Anyway, in my Inbox (remember, that's where the serious emails end up, right?) I found an email with the following subject line:

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT YOUR FALLOPIAN TUBES

Is this from my Doctor? Oh, maybe it's the pharmaceutical company. Would I be getting a discount on hormones? Maybe it's a survey from the hospital. Yeah, that must be it. It must be important. I am, in fact, missing a fallopian tube and now afterall, I have an 'important' email about MY fallopian tubes.

Open...

A link? Sounds intriguing. Maybe it's fashionable to be sans a spare tube. I'll bite. I mean, seriously, the curiousity was TOO much to bear. 

Click...

I thought that I have pretty much seen it all in my day. I mean, I have really seen a lot. But I will admit that I had not seen this before. A website dedicated to jewelry. Not just any jewelry. Not a great costume piece that you could wear with your favorite outfit while having drinks with the gals. Not a festive Holiday piece that you could wear to your office Holiday party. Nope, it's a website that sells jewelry specifically designed to look like sperm and fallopian tubes.

I don’t know. I’m all for being knowledgeable about the reproductive process. I am all for women missing a crucial female part banding together but I just don’t know if I want to be wearing said information in my ears or around my neck.

It really is taking all of my energy to not make inappopriate jokes right now about sperm as it relates to necks and ears ;)~

These will run you around $70 by the way. Would you wear them?

P.S. I have officially seen it all.

Oh, and just so you can't accuse me of making this up, here's a picture.
