To each his or her own... Someone at my dentist's office told me this one. She was at her gynecologist's, having the kind of examination that happens to the best of us. So the gynecologist is up to his elbows, doing his thing, when he said, conversationally, "So, what do you do?" She said, "I work at the other end — I'm a dental hygienist." He said, "Ewwwww! How can you look in people's mouths all day?"

Wouldn't 'the other end' be a proctologist? I'm just saying.

Once my gynecologist complimented my watch while he was doing a pelvic. He also told me I had a nice tan. ???

That is hi-damn-larious. I should bring that up for conversation next time I go for a prostate exam.

No, jon, where he was, that's just the other side.

But's Jon's right, it's a tube with an entrance and an exit. The vagina's pretty much a dead-end!

I think it's more a cul-de-sac.

Um, isn't anyone concerned with the fact this person's gyno had to get "up to the elbow?" in this scenario?

Hey, I'm no Trinidadian Med School graduate, but last time I checked, that's not the right way of doing this procedure.

I won't even ponder over why he had to use both elbows.

I assumed Orange Swan was speaking to a cow.
