I’m bored of crying now – time for some laughter and this morning, I remembered something that started me giggling, even though I was sitting on a crowded train !!
It happened quite a few years ago to my beautiful but ditzy friend, Nancy and it made me scream with laughter at the time, even though I have never been entirely convinced it’s true. It if is, it could only have happened to her. It’s to do with one of her smear tests so look away now if hearing about that is going to bother you !
So, she had spent an afternoon shopping when, on a whim, she went into her local GP centre to see if the doctor could fit her in for a smear test. She was told if she could wait twenty minutes it should be fine. After sitting there for a while, it suddenly struck her that she ought to tidy herself up, down there, and so she popped into the ladies. Of course, there was no loo roll, so she had to rummage around in her bag in search of tissues but there was nothing apart from one crumbly, screwed up offering right underneath all the junk that had been building up in there.. She used it to …ahem…sort herself out and then made her way in to the doctor’s office.
She got on the couch and the doctor started the procedure but she noticed that he and the nurse exchanged glances and she then handed him a kidney bowl into which he placed something. After it was all over and as Nancy was left to get dressed she couldn’t resist a quick peek into the bowl and there, to her horror, was ……. a first class stamp stuck to a bit of tissue!
She said she was sure she could hear them both laughing before she had even closed the door on the way out and she was mortified! She moved to a different doctor after that as she couldn’t bear the shame of facing him or the nurse ever again.
The girl is so funny! I’m crying again – this time with helpless laughter.

Ha ha! Now that's what I call a mail box! I'm resisting steadfastly the urge to make jokes about large parcels and special deliveries.
ReplyDeleteoh my...lol...glad you are feeling better...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever be able to look at a stamp again in quite the same way.
ReplyDeleteObviously a classy lady.
ReplyDeleteJust think, if she'd been pregnant she would have had a first class delivery.
Or inserting a letter/parcel through one's slot?
ReplyDeleteNow, that is funny. Mortifying, but funny. Letter through the slot indeed, as Old Cheeser opined.
ReplyDeletehahaha, perhaps "male box", Steve?? I won't make comments about licking stamps tho', no. I won't.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't think of any stamp and fanny jokes - and now I have to look back and find out why you have been crying, you lovely woman you.
ReplyDeleteAfter that I must rush away and do a million things to do with our move to the UK. Will not be back for a while but you cherish yourself in my absence, do you hear?
Who'd have thought Postman Pat was so popular. Selina, given the level of responses, you'll know how to pitch your future posts - waist high.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well in your wee corner of the world. Sending hugs.
