Two so far, as I type this.

Everyone I've known who had a Prince Albert weren't the least bit shy about showing it off when asked, so I expected the poll would get honest answers.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

The German word for contraceptive is “Schwangerschaftsverhütungsmittel”. By the time you finished saying that, it’s too late

Too stupid to warrant consideration, much less a vote.

Think I’m missing something here. The only reference to Prince Albert that I know is the one to the joke mentioned above.

….its a piercing through the……penii pasta…..

The question is "Does anyone...", not "do you". To which I say yes.

The MRF age group tends to mitigate against this. The only piercing I have were surgical staples, now removed.

Well, I learned something new today.

The alleging was entirely by the body piercing artist and an associate who popularized it some decades ago. There is no historical verification of this, and it has since turned into an urban legend.

Back when I was building projects from Radio Electronics, occasionally while trying to remove a stubborn IC from its socket, I’d end up with a 14 pin IC embedded in either my thumb or forefinger. That’s as close to a piercing as I’ve ever come.

My father had his ears pierced in the late 1920’s as a toddler. Funny to see pierced ears on a 4’8” man in his mid 90’s (he started shrinking every year some time ago - he used to be 5’3”.)

Well, I learned something new today.

Probably too much, too soon, LOL.


As piercings go, I imagine the exact counterpart is not at all common for women.

There tends to be a 'close enough for Govt. work' location, rather than bang on.

Apparently Emma Bunton, then known as "Baby Spice", asked Prince Charles if he had a Prince Albert when they were first introduced, then had to explain what she meant to the befuddled Prince.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

How to get a lifetime of urinary tract problems. "YOU DID WHAT?!?" from doctors over and over and over again.

I'm found enough of that body part not to make any modifications to the original equipment.

We're so sorry
But we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring

Am I the only one who wonders what happens when...



Prince Albert is in a thunderstorm, and gets hit by lightning?

Prince Albert goes through the TSA detector at the airport?

Prince Albert is close to an MRI machine, specifically the super-electromagnet dynamo? (Does that get a rise out of him? <snicker>)



... all of these scenarios (and several others) could involve extreme embarrassment, bodily injury, or both.

The modern version is now Prince Albert's Ghost, where the hardware is made on a 3-D printer. (I made this up, but I figure someone must be trying it.)

It's an electrifying experience, though if Prince Albert was the tallest thing around to attract lightning then Prince Albert's owner was kind of asking for it.

The rings, barbells, etc. used in exotic piercings are usually surgical stainless steel and will set off metal detectors, but I'm reasonably sure there are plastic/silicone/non-metallic "maintainers" designed specifically for pierced travelers to use while en route.

Same as with a metal detector, absolutely take it out first and use a maintainer if necessary.

Bodily injury, yes, but embarrassment isn't likely. Everyone I've known who had a Prince Albert wasn't the least bit shy about showing it off pretty much any time it was appropriate to do so, and none of them would have so much as batted an eye at showing their Prince Albert to a TSA agent.
