When I went in for heart surgery (ablation to correct WPW syndrome), the nurse had to shave one side of my groin, so they could put in catheters into my arteries and veins. After she did the one side, she decided she should shave the other side, too, "just in case." When she was done, I looked like a a french poodle down there.
A while later, a second nurse came in, and asked to see my chest. She made some comment about having discovered a wooly mammoth, and proceeded to shave and shave.
When they brought me into the OR, lying on a gurney, the nurse there decided to shave my chest some more. Then she said something like "Honey (funny thing to call a 50 year old...), your back isn't like this too, is it?" I nodded, she asked me to sit up, took one look, and got a second nurse to help, with both shaving my back together.
After the surgery (completely sucessful!) I looked absurd with all the shaved and hairy patches. I had suspected this would happen, so I was careful to schedule the surgery well in advance of the swimming pool season, major sex parties, etc. I did get some weird looks in the gym locker room, though.
