PUTTING ON THE GLITZ

An American woman was on holiday visiting a friend. After a night out on the town she ended up sleeping with a guy, and a few days later developed a curious rash around her genitals. Concerned, her girlfriend recommended that she visit her gynaecologist. As any woman might feel on being seen by a friend's gynaecologist., she wanted to smell as fresh as possible, so she used her friend's deodorant spray. She arrived at the surgery and somewhat nervously waited to be seen. Eventually, the gynaecologist. called her name and she entered his consulting room. She followed the doctor's instructions to put on a gown and lie on the examination table, and he began to examine her. Almost immediately he looked up and said: "Wow, we are flashy. Have you got something special on tonight?" Completely embarrassed and very puzzled, the woman looked down and, seeing lots of sparkly stuff, she realised that she had mistaken her friend s glitter hairspray for vaginal deodorant.
