When I was in St. Kevins Roman Catholic High School back in the 60’s and 70’s, we had 2000 adolescent boys. Sex was the dominant chat.
Puberty included the joke;
‘What did one leg say to the other?’
‘I see shorty’s growing a beard!’
We longed for the site of that first pubic hair.
One day after games when we were getting showered – if you weren’t dirty from the game Mr. Murphy would pick you up and drop you in a muddy puddle – what would they call that in the liberal 21st Century?
Anyway, P1 and P2 had games at the same time. Now there was a kid who seemed to have hit the hairy bollocks stage well ahead of the rest of us. So as we were showering, someone put the put lad on the spot by shouting ‘Stench, show us your knob!’
The rites of passage…
