So I got tested for Syphilis today. And Ghonorreah, and HIV, and Chlamydia. I figure it's one of those things I should've been doing semi-annually for a while now, so yeah.
Do you know how they test your for Syphilis? It's really fun. The nurse has you disrobe, and sticks a cotton swab up your urethra. It feels... excruciating. It feels like somebody is stabbing you on the inside of the penis. I had the option of doing a urinary test, but it costs $38, and the swab costs $9. I think I would pay $20 not to experience that in the future, so I guess on the balance, I don't quite regret my decision. But yeah. Ow.
[EDIT:] Apparently, syphilis is such a dangerous disease that just getting tested makes it burn when you pee.
In non-penile news, Conduit comes out in a few days. I'll be spending this weekend trying to get ahead in my classes so that I have time to play the bejeesus out of it. I hope to have a review up before Friday, so all you Wii owning readers (that's right, both of you) who will probably have already played it can see what I think.
Also, my Red Faction review, posted previously, is now viewableon www.gamefaqs.com It seems they'll let anyone write for them. Go me.
[UPDATE] None of those tests came back positive.

Oh my god it burns with the fire of a thousand suns... I feel for you, man.
ReplyDeleteThat's my Ben,taking the other path to save money!I knew you had some good Jew sense in ya. Wait. Jews are supposed to be highly intelligent when it comes to opportunity cost. Maybe a smart Jew would opt for the extra $20. Gosh,what a conundrum. I guess I need to sit back and think "W.W.A.J.D.(What Would A Jew Do?"
ReplyDeleteAnd so begins your lifestyle into sounding, I predict, for some horrifying reason.
ReplyDeleteI think Walter is right. It was Ghonorrea. I got tested for a bunch of stuff yesterday. The point is that Kurt's analogy to the thousand suns is most appropriate, and I think I might pay $20 just to rid myself of the memory.
