Doctor Doctor Does Gotcha.
Early yesterday morning I stopped by Doctor Doctor’s office so that he could check on how I’m faring with the Mother of All Summer Colds and the Eye Snot. Here’s how it went:
DD: So, how are you feeling?
Jimbo: Considerably better. Still a little fatigued, but I figure that will pass in a few more days.
DD: Good. How are your eyes feeling?
Jimbo: Much better. I’ve been doing the drops, and I have a few more days to go with them.
DD: (Looks into my eyes) Good. Are you having any trouble putting the drops in?
Jimbo: Funny you should ask. As a matter of fact, I’m not too good at that.
DD: Well, there is something new out that I could prescribe to you that should make it much easier for you.
Jimbo: Really? What is that?
DD: It contains the same active ingredient to treat your eyes, but it comes in suppository form.
Jimbo:
DD: (shit-eating grin)
Jimbo: You’re shitting me.
DD: BWAHAHAHAHA!!
Turns out that Doctor Doctor is also Blog Reader Blog Reader.
Oh man, you’re lucky that’s all he did!

It coulda been worse: he could’ve recommended catheterization.

I tried one of them suppositories…for all the good it did I might as well stuck it up my ass..

The problem with suppositories is that they’re DAMN hard to keep lit…

So there is really a direct path from the head to the ass. I always knew it.

Accept my oily benediction:
Truth is stranger far than friction.
And on those rare days when you Get Lucky,
Don’t forget the Jelly from Kentucky.
It does not taste good on your Bread;
But helps things slip ‘n’ slide in Bed.
O, I suppose a suppository,
Might be a taste of Purgatory.

The Doc got me once too. I was having some issues with a pinched nerve in my shoulder. So I was demonstrating to Doc how when I reached for something it caused me grief.
Me: “When I move it this way, it hurts up here.”
Doc: “Then don’t move it that way!”
Asshole. We both got a good laugh out of it though. I’m sure he had been waiting years to use that line.
