Scot, at Izzle! Izzle Phaff!<\/i>, went to the doctor. And while I wish him the best of luck on his as-of-yet-mysterious illness, I'm going to quote a chunk of his story because it's damn funny, in a Larry David-awkward-moment kind of way.<\/p>\n

So I had to go over to some other nurses and wait for the chest x-ray. I also had to get my blood drawn for a CBC and chemical panel, for which I was characteristically totally brave: \"Don't ask me to watch this shit,\" I informed the nurse. I'm so lame. She was a pro, and it was fine.<\/p>\n

Waiting for the x-ray nurse, I sat in the waiting room, not far from the vampire who had just drained me for a few cc's. A young blonde woman came up and spoke to her, and the next thing I heard was the nurse saying brightly, \"All right! Have you ever given a stool sample before?\"<\/p>\n

My head automatically shot up at this unexpected series of words, and I caught the blonde woman's stricken eyes. I felt horrible, and looked back at the awful carpet.<\/p>\n

\"No,\" said the woman with more aplomb than I would have ever summoned.<\/p>\n

...<\/p>\n

While I was waiting to get out of there, the stool sample blonde came walking down the hall again; I caught her eye again. She was gingerly holding a plastic container at arm's length. She looked stricken again, and I looked at the carpet again. I am so sorry I saw you carrying your stool sample<\/em>, I thought to myself, and herself mentally thought to myself, Boy, me too<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I posed a gedankenexperiment <\/em>to myself at that moment: If I were single, could I ever date a woman who I had first encountered while she was submitting a stool sample for the first time? I came to the conclusion that I am a huge dumbfuck.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
