WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — In the heart of this close-knit gay community, Luke Martel reflects the feelings of many when it comes to a strain of meningitis that has killed three gay men this year in Los Angeles County: He's concerned but not overly so.

"I have a sister who was a nurse in the emergency room for many years.
She had numerous interesting stories to tell about people with weird things stuck in places where they were not designed to be stuck.",

My cousin the x-ray tech had a nice collection of scans featuring bottles, tools, veggies, etc...
He says all the x-ray techs he knows have their own collection,
and any gathering/conference of his peers include stories...

I hard the story of the guy in emergency who had a light bulb stuck where the sun doesn’t shine..someone jokingly said kick him in the butt and take it out in pieces...

close-knit gay community

>> There's a visual for ya.

In the world as a whole, they say there is a separation of 6 degrees to "get to" any person in the world (someone in your circle of friends knows someone in another circle of friends who knows someone else... such that it only takes 6 people to reach anyone in the world).

I'd say that in the homo-community, that circle of sexual partners is down to 3 degrees of separation.
