Colourful sweeties!
Just as I was nosy making small talks with a few of the receptionists at the front desk, an old man came in to the General practice to drop his "number 2" sample for laboratory evaluation. Next to the drop off sample box, there was a wee basket fulled of colourful miniature attractive wee packets of latex sac used mostly by adults to either avoid pregnancy or nasty gonorrhoea. The old man got intrigued and extended his arms grabbing a few of them, caught my glance and the conversation goes like this:
Old man: Is it free?(smiley face)
Me: Yes,absoultely free. Free from burning sores as well.(replying in a jokingly manner)
Old man: Burning sores?(muddled face)
Me: Although it's not 100% protective, but it still has small percentage of infection risk.(speaking professionally from medical point of view to avoid embarassment)
old man: wot..? (paused a little, put on his glasses hanging from the neck and on closed inpsection) oh jesus..(eyes wide open with surprise)I thought they were sweeties.
He quickly chucked them out from his hands back to the basket.
Me:(my eyes watching in terror as he threw them back..oh gosh..I have to say something to break the weird situation).No it's not but they do have different flavors to suit your taste. (oh jesus christ...where the hell did it come out from >.<)
Old man: HAHAHAHA..That's a good one young man( blink his eyes)
Me: Hehehe(^_^ giggling)
The receptionists bursted into laughters just as the old man had gone out and guess what the gals told me, he was a priest..yes...a retired priest. Holly molly..I have just created a sin making adult jokes with a priest!Can't blame him entirely given a varitey of colors, flavors and designs of condoms available these days. ^_^
The lesson of the story is..watch what you're grabbing..^_^ and always PeekAboo.
