Never a Dull Moment - warning, rudery and naughtiness under the cut!

[dizzojay]

I know all has not been unicorns and chocolate sprinkles at my work recently, but today was a day that I will remember for a long time for all the RIGHT reasons!





We have a new guy who has joined us recently and he previously worked for Ann Summers. I'm guessing that my overseas buddies know what Ann Summers is, but if not, let me explain.  They are a chain that sells sex clothing and accessories!

This guy was telling us about a time when he was involved in the recall of - wait for it - a new line of butt plugs.  Yes, butt plugs.

Apparently, in this particular line of butt plugs, there was a design flaw ...

Yes, someone is actually employed to sit and DESIGN butt plugs.

Anyway, such was the design flaw that when said butt plug was inserted, there wasn't enough 'collar' to halt it's progress, and a number of them were disappearing into parts unknown, only to be retrieved by the local accident and emergency department.

It wasn't Ann Summers' finest moment apparently!

...

I'm sorry, I still can't quite get my head around the fact that someone is employed to DESIGN butt plugs!

...
...

There's got to be a fic out there somewhere ...

Missing butt plug in isle 5 please? *Snorts* Now that made me really laugh! I cannot wait to see the stories from that headline! Geez!
*Snickers wildly*

I'm assuming you said something insightful or humorous, but I can't read because my brain keeps shutting down from staring at your icon. Wow! Now THAT'S why Photoshop was invented! :D

[moondropz.livejournal.com]

I might have? But I too am blind-sided by that icon! Indeed! :)

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

The mind truly boggles, doesn't it!

[moondropz.livejournal.com]

It does, it truly does! *G*

Bwahahaha! I can't get MY head around the fact that somebody employed there had to handle all the returned butt plugs!!!!!

Double-gloved, presumably.

Or maybe they just incinerated the packages unopened?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

What a job huh?

[casey28.livejournal.com]

OMG, what a weird design flaw, lol.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Weird is the word!

[kinkthatwinked.livejournal.com]

I don't know if that's funny or scary. The whole point of butt plugs is that they don't get lost up there! Hope that designer got fired ... or he was forced to use one of the faulty ones.

Come to think of it, that would be an interesting way of reprimanding employees, forcing them to use the substandard equipment they signed off on. There'd never be a vibrator with an electrical short or nipple clamps that don't unclamp found on the market ever again!

This ^^^ *giggles*

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Oh you're cruel! You're not related to Crowley are you?

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

But (HA) how do you think they come up with these things, there are people out there who design nipple clamps, butt plugs, vibraters, hell even the leather cuffs get designed by some one, LOL!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I honestly hadn't even given it a moment's thought. I think I just kind of accepted that such 'items' spontaneously appeared out of thin air!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Oh bless! I actually do know someone who's job it was to sign off on the waterproof ability of vibrators *SNIGGERS*

*gigglesnorts* oh, that fic would be PRICELESS if it were written!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I assume someone designed the Rampant Rabbit too.

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Not butt plugs but currently reading J&J fic that has Jensen testing all sorts of dildos...lol :P
Oh the stories that guy can tell! interesting! lol :P

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

I think I've just read the same one!

It's Black Holes and Revelations http://archiveofourown.org/works/5411498/chapters/12502904

[wings128.livejournal.com]

I don't know about designing butt plugs, but I do remember a story where Jensen works as a tester of sex toys. If only I could remember the title.

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Is it this one...

[wings128.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the one ;D

[gingersnap1224.livejournal.com]

There is a ton of money in that industry. My hub is a mechanical engineer who specializes in precision medical devices. He was hired to design a line of 24k gold, platinum and diamond encrusted vibrators for Jimmy Jane. ( yes, diamond encrusted) His cut of that job was the down payment on our house, which we lovingly refer to as "the house that dildos built"

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

I went on a First Aid course and there were two ladies from Ann Summers on the course too, they were great fun!

I can't imagine anyone testing butt plugs and dildos for a living but I guess it's good that they do test them out! And I've just read fic where Jensen tests out dildos! It's called Black Holes and Revelations here...
