Tony,

I had a COVID test back in May as a precaution. Not the most pleasant experience.

I think the prostate check was a piece of cake by comparison. :P

I'll take your word for it. :D

But, I think of these 2 cartoons:

Oh dear. ;)

I'm sure someone will create some COVID-19 malware. :P

It's bound to happen.

Remember when MS-DOS viri was all we had to worry about??

I remember when all you had to worry about were bad floppy disks. :)


... Do it! It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Well, if you like things shoved up your butt... :P But, in regards to COVID-19 (with those giant Q-Tips up each nostril for at least 3 seconds
each), folks have had reactions to sneezing, gagging, or either peeing
or pooping in their underwear. :P

But, I think of these 2 cartoons:

Yet, prostate and testicular cancer are the 3rd leading killer of men... behind heart disease and breast cancer (tied for 1st), then colon cancer.
For women, instead of prostate and testicular cancer, it's either cervical
or uterine cancer.

Speaking of which, one of comedian Jeff Foxworthy's (you might be a
redneck) videos, noted the "mess" with prescription drugs nowadays. He
started with noting that "when I was growing up, there was only 2 items
in the medicine cabinet -- aspirin, and Camphophenique". Now, big pharma
has turned us into a bunch of paranoid nuts...with all these prescription medicines, where the side effects are 50 times worse than what the medicine
is designed to deal with (side effects may include death (WTF??!!))!!

He said that his wife and he watched things like "Dateline", and when
they highlight a certain medical condition, "Of 3 people on the planet,
that have it, my wife is one of them!!".

He continued, that with one episode, she was horrified, saying "I've
got it. I have every one of those symptoms".

He replied "You do not have testicular cancer!!"...which brought the
house down in raucous laughter...then he added "You don't even have testiculars"!! <G>.

That reminds me of 2 QWK taglines:

1) Junior!! Quit playing with your floppy!!

2) Hard Disk??!! Lady, I misunderstood you!!

Yes, I'm in one of my nether moods today. <G>

True...

Well, I don't use any prescription medicine, so I can get away with the old school. :)

Tony,

Healthwise, I did undergo that test before hernia surgery
4 months ago (the prostate check (DRE) was a piece of cake
by comparison).

I'm sure someone will create some COVID-19 malware. :P

Maybe it needs Vaseline liberally applied. <G>

Yeah not the most pleasant experiences, but nothing untowards happened.

To me, the prostate check was mild by comparison, and only had to be done once (only one orifice). With COVID-19, there are two orficies, so it has
to be done twice.

Well, I don't use any prescription medicine, so I can get away with the old school. :)

The Canadian Comedy Team, Bowser and Blue, have done 3 comedy songs on various conditions:

1) Praise to The Colorectal Surgeon
2) My Vasectomy
3) The Prostate Song

All 3 are a hoot...and while the women only have to worry about the
first one, the men have to deal with all 3. :P

Hmm, hypochondria anyone? ;)

This was on the hyphchondriac's tombstone: "I told you I was sick!!" <G>.

Haha sure she didn't have more balls than him? :D

The couple who's president of the organization, are great folks, and she
is an absolute nut, with a wicked sense of humor. She did up this portable
belt with small sleigh bells on it...giving it to a caller, saying "We heard you lost your ding-a-ling" (to the song "My Ding-A-Ling"). To another, she
put 2 Christmas Ornaments around his neck, and said "We needed to be sure you had your balls on!!". Everyone was roaring in laughter...but, we only pick on the ones we love and care about.
