This landed in my email inbox this morning and all the ladies I've shown it to have found it really very funny, so does it have the same effect on men or is the whole subject area such a taboo one that it's beyond you?
The Facecloth
I was due for a routine cervical smear with the Doctor later in the week, when, early this morning I received a call from the Doctor's office to tell me the appointment had to be urgently rescheduled for this morning at 9.30. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school and it was already 8.45, and as the journey to the surgery took about half an hour I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over "hygiene" when making such visits, but this time wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs to the bathroom, threw off my pyjamas, wet the facecloth that was sitting by the sink and gave myself a quick wash in the necessary area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the facecloth in the laundry basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few moments when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as most women will, I hopped up on the table, discarded my lower garments and proceded to fix my attention on the opposite side of the room and pretend I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the Doctor suddenly exclaimed "My, we have made an extra effort this morning haven't we?!" I didn't respond, there didn't seem anything appropriate to say.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief, got dressed and went home. The rest of the day was spent quite normally - shopping, cleaning etc.
Later, after I got home from picking my 7 year old daughter up from school, she called out from the bathroom "Mummy, where's my facecloth?" I told her to get a clean one from the cupboard.
She replied "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter saved inside it!"
I am never going back to that Doctor, ever!
