Back in the day I used to be an Internist. I'm seeing this 50 year old guy for his physical and it comes time to examine his prostate. So he's elbows down on the table and I get into the exam. He gets a funny look on his face and I pause to ask, "You OK?"
He kinda shakes his head and says to me, "I always feel so weird during these things."
"Really?" I say, "how come?"
"Well doc, for one thing it's not something I do every day and I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to do."
"Like what?" I said.
"Well, for instance, where am I supposed to put my pants?"
I had great empathy for the man and tried to put him at ease. "Well next time just drape them over the chair over there.....next to mine...."
