Not so much innuendo....
When I was doing my hospital training to become a grown up ambulance type worker, I had to spend 2 weeks in the operating theatres. This basically involved a) putting tubes into people so that when we stopped them breathing we could put air into them and b) sticking needles into people to give them the special drugs to stop them breathing in the first place.

All good fun.

Anyhoo, one afternoon I was on the day case list in one operating theatre cannulating patients (putting in the needles). It was the urology list, an afternoon of fun filled procedures, most of which would bring a tear to the eye.

So I, without thinking, was standing next to a chap about my age and uttered the immortal phrase "right, I'm just going to put these needle into the back of your hand. You might feel an uncomfortable prick, but it'll be over quickly."

"Well" said the chap. "The surgeon told me it would take about 2 weeks."

Circumcision.

Unfortunate.
