On Things That "Can't Be"

True story:

A 30 year old woman reports to A&E (or the ER) complaining of abdominal pain. She is unwed, but scandalously shacking up with her boyfriend (at a time when that was highly frowned upon). The ER doc takes a history and does a brief exam before stepping back and telling her that she's pregnant.

The woman says, "Doctor, that can't be." When the doctor assures her that it can, in fact, be. She says, "No, it can't. My boyfriend has had a little surgery, it's not possible."

The doctor frowns. Feeling that it would be quite impossible for the woman to become pregnant if her boyfriend has had a vasectomy, the doctor (assuming it's the time before HIPAA) does some searching. The doctor comes back into the room laughing and tells the woman that it was QUITE possible she was pregnant... What happened?

Her boyfriend's "little surgery" wasn't a vasectomy, it was a circumcision.

Ha!

Peace.

How are you enjoying the blog? And the Googleization of your name? I definitely just made that up. However, I do enjoy to Google myself at night when I'm bored. Do you Google yourself, too?
