just a stab

5.17.2005

So, you want to hear some funny shit? You do? O.K.

I go to my doctor today to get my physical for the Peace Corps. Because it's just a physical, my doctor stops in, but leaves the actual physical to his resident, who's a nice guy and good at what he does. Usually.

So he's going over the form and says, "OK, well it looks like I need to check for hernias and give you a rectal exam. I just need to stick my fingers in your rectum for just a few seconds and make sure that your prostrate is okay. It's not pleasant, but it'll only take a few seconds. The Peace Corps is awfully through."

So, he gives me my rectal exam and everything is hunky dorey. He goes to check the "ok" next to "Prostrate Exam," pauses for a second with a slightly confused, bemused look on his face, and then says "Oh jeez, I didn't notice that it said 'men, over 50 only', my bad."

Yep, I got a rectal exam today even though I didn't need one.

I should really get something for that. Cash, free dinner, something.
