The Joys of being 40-something

Had my yearly physical yesterday. Last year I had successfully convinced my doc that I did not need a prostate exam and I'm pretty sure he said we can wait till your 45...

However, yesterday he was singing a different tune. He insisted that I should have one but did say that if it was normal I might be able to convince him next year that I don't need one.

What a joyous experience . I tried to make it a humorous situation, invoking Fletch-isms, but when he said "just relax" all I could think of was "no fucking way" and clenched up tight...

In the end (pun intended) it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I certainly could never be a homosexual and I hope I never have to go to prison...

After that bit of fun I got a call to meet a couple bowling teammates for dinner at the Cloud-9 grill prior to bowling, which of course translates into "let's have some beers before bowling". And that was not a good idea as we got pasted our first two games, losing by 190 and 140. I was awesome, 165 and 159 to start. Not bad at all, just needed a 300 game in game 3 to get my average for the night (I did manage a 238 in game three to save some dignity). We did win the 3rd game and it could have been worse I guess. No one did worth a shit...

Oh well, I'll try again tonight in my other league.

I have a female Doctor - it's much more "fun". At least I can pretend I'm enjoying it! LOL

Yeah, I'm going to have a physical in a month or two and dread having the prostate exam. But I always try to think like: "This sucks but at least I don't have to be the guy doing this to 100's of guys a year".

Yeah, it's gotta be worse to be sticking your finger in some dude's ass 10 times a day... lol
