I recently had a colonoscopy and you have to have someone with you who can drive you because you have been sedated. My high school friend, David (Class of 1982) accompanied me. Before going, he asked if he should wear something sexy. I said it could help, We would have to stroll in holding hands and singing "You're The One that I Want" from "Grease." I would sing the Sandy part because I actually am a high or light tenor.
Now, guys our age can see that as a joke because it would not really happen. But these days, someone would take that seriously.
Unofficially, I told the doc who came to check on me that I was, indeed, here for a hysterectomy.
I was going to ask favor. Since I have worked in construction for a large part of my adult life, could they let me know when they are in. I cannot tell anymore. But I did not have the guts to try that one.
However, as I was coming out of sedation in the recovery room, a doctor came in and got me some coffee and a bottle of water, both appreciated. He wanted to know if I had any questions.
I said, "Yes. did you find Jimmy Hoffa?"
He said, "No, we did not."
You are welcome, internet. An internet torn between the cry babies who want to take everything seriously and the grown-ups.
