*THE WASH CLOTH*

There is not a woman alive today who won't crack up over this!

I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week.
Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell
me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only
just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around
8:45 am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have
any time to spare.

As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when
making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the
full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the
washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick
wash in "that area" to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw
the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in
the car and raced to my appointment.

I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.
Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table,
looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in
Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised
when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra effort this morning,
haven't we?" I didn't respond.

After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest
of the day was normal... some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. After
school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the
bathroom, "Mommy, where's my washcloth?" I told her to get another one
from the cupboard. She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the
sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it."

Wow, and all this time I thought you were a guy.

Geez, Rich, since you don't know anything about electronics, why don't
you take your kibitzing and bad jokes somewhere else where they might
be appreciated?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

That it was. Kind of like what you would read, in a hypothetical
modern, feminist-era "Romona" (Beverly Cleary) book...lol.

Actually, it wasn't a good story and I suspected it was an urban legend,
but didn't want to bother looking it up on Snopes. Any woman would see
right through it. The likelyhood of a OB/GYN rescheduling for earlier in
the day than the original appointment is mighty slim. Usually they're
calling to tell you the doctor's delivering a baby and you'll need to come
in later/another day or see the nurse practitioner. There are other issues
with it as well that made it stink of urban legend. Overall, the story
made me roll my eyes more than laugh due to its implausibility.

If we're gonna talk good urban legends, at least chose one with a little
plausbility like the rocket car story that got the Darwin Awards early on.
True, the bumper sticker bit should have been a dead giveaway that it was
a story, but compared to some of the other stupid stunts pulled by Darwin
Award nominees, it at least seemed plausible.

And Rich, why are you cross-posting to so many groups? Divergent themed
groups with members that don't all know how to trim posts at that. So not
the Slack way. Been hanging out with rm too much?

I did not hear it 29 years ago, so thanks to Rich for allowing me to
enjoy it now.
