I just posted the following on my blog, by coincidence! I had another medically-related post and this followed on nicely. Enjoy: I don't have too many medical stories of my own, but this one's a corker. It's not a "friend of a friend" story - it happened to a guy I used to know years ago and I heard it first hand. I have no reason to doubt him because, frankly, he was that stupid. I won't say who, nobody who reads this blog knows him (unless by some freak coincidence) so I don't fell bad about telling it. Besides, it would be a shame not to share it. Basically, he had a bit of a problem. A fairly embarassing one. He'd developed a little bit of a fetish and had caused himself a possible problem. So, a trip to the university health centre was in order. Things got worse when he was informed that the only doctor in attendance was a young lady. He swallowed his pride and went in. I believe he described his complaint somewhat like this: "Erm... Well, what it is is that I kind of... erm... *sigh* I lost count. I'm not sure if I..." pause "I shoved a load of Monopoly hotels up my arse and I don't know if I got them all back out or not." Not the way to impress a young lady in the medical profession. This escapade was the last of his bumfoolery I heard of, but I know he also tried saucepan handles, amongst other things. I am so glad I didn't have to share a house with him.
