What the f...

I am taller than Gandalf.

Awesome.

Put that on your eHarmony profile!

Wow, those are some really wide spaces.

What makes you think that? A 3-series isn't a particularly wide car.

Well maybe not in North America, but to my UK eyes those are some damn wide spaces. And long too.

They actually look pretty narrow, particularly if you're driving a coupe. I thought Quitch was joking, but then I remembered that he doesn't like humor. Or trees.

Also, you're american, so you probably don't realize that your eyes have evolved to see everything that's too fat as being normal.

Okay, Vetarnias.

Low blow.

Or waiters.

I giggled.

Last year at my annual check-up my family doctor said that I was in great shape for someone in his late 30s and I don't have to worry about having a prostate exam until I'm 40. I told him I'm 40 (at the time). He then put on the gloves.

Sigh.

You only have yourself to blame.

I have a female doctor...

Dear Penthouse, I never thought it could happen to me...

I've had that lovely exam done by both a male and a femail doctor. It's not any less embarrassing and certainly isn't sexual in any way when it's a woman.

Nope, my first was by a female surgeon, and in my mind what I was there for wasn't related (and I was under 40), so it came as quite a surprise...

(in Danish we would say of a surprise "it came from behind", which this literally did)

Indeed. I preferred the female doctor because she has smaller hands and slender fingers. Only the first one was embarrassing. Also my doctor has excellent doctor/patient skills, which helps a lot.

Yes the familiarity and personality of the individual is what alters the experience. The first time I had it done was on a first visit to a new doctor. I was having issues so I expected this might happen. The next time was with my current doctor and having a prior relationship made it a less bewildering experience.

You'd think we'd be using ultrasounds by now.

I imagine the only reason we don't is that the current procedure is perfectly effective and much cheaper.

I will say that once you've had a cystoscopy, prostate exams are pretty minor things.

I've had a flexible sigmoidoscopy and yeah pretty much everything after is cake. Also as Hawkeye Fierce mentions the regular prostate exam is incredibly effective and only costs a latex glove and some lube.

Now that that's out of the way, have some imitation, pasteurized, processed Superman cheese:



Real Superman cheese is probably more expensive.

Real Superman cheese would contain so many vitamins and minerals it would be fatal to humans.

It's the milking process that's problematic.
