For the superstitious I shall refrain from running in circles throwing spilled salt merrily around, stepping on black cats ON cracks in the pavement, dodging under ladders and saying ‘thirteen!! THIRTEEN. Thirteen!’ excessively. Oops, except perhaps that one time. Oh, and Dear Old Aunty is now officially a teenager. Being thirteen and all. Where does the time go?
I’ll quit it now. Really. What broken mirror?
….and so it begins again. I decide that I cannot let Goog.le proclaim me the font of all knowlege with regard to an.al speculums and p.ee hole in.sertions without at least a little objection. But I’ll choose some other examples to discuss in greater detail, if that’s okay with YOU.
As always, click on the button for previous editions of my snark advice to the frequently illiterate. Or click on the Bad Google tab at the top to see a more comprehensive list of what can only be described as Really Dumb Stuff.
- Sparrow phlebotomist girl dies.
- can i f*ck to pregnant time?
- i have 0% (non pregnant) of quantitative HCG.
- Vaginal suppository application diagram.
- Seen the heartbeat don’t feel pregnant.
- Gunshot wound to the penis.
- Cold medicine give me an erection.
Item #1 (Sparrow phlebotomist girl dies):
Well that was jolly careless of her, wasn’t it?
Now whose going to extract blood from all these darn sparrows?
I call it inconsiderate.
Item # 2 (can i f*ck to pregnant time?):
I’m afraid I just don’t know. Can you?
I’m not very musical, but I can probably manage to beat out 4/4 time if that’s any help?
Item # 3 (i have 0% (non pregnant) of quantitative HCG):
I’ve answered this one recently, but I’ll save you the search through the back archives. I know you’re burning up to understand why the blood test is wrong because you ARE pregnant, right?
Apologies in advance if this seems a little mean, but tough love is sometimes required in this sort of situation. If it helps, I’ll supply the chocolates and inevitable tissues?
Let me get on the blower all stat and stuff!
Yep, honey, I’ll be right with you. Promise. I’m paging the Tooth Fairy and Father Christmas as we speak. They’ll want to get a hold of this one.
What, you mean they don’t exist?
Kind on my point, I suppose….
Sorry.
That WAS kinda mean. You’re not pregnant.
No, really, you’re not.
Item # 4 (Vaginal suppository application diagram):
Sigh.
For all of you who are near Terminally Confused about the naming convention with regard to orifices, insertional activities thereof, I shall once again explain.
If you put it in the furthermost orifice from the front, you’re putting it in your bottom and you call it a suppository.
If you put it in the middle orifice that girlies have, but not boys, then you call it a pessary.
If you put it in the front one, well, we’re back to p.ee hole in.sertions and I don’t give advice on those.
Capiche? Please, let’s stop all the messy sounding reference to vag.inal supp.ositories. My mental imagery thanks you in advance.
Item # 5 (Seen the heartbeat don’t feel pregnant):
What’s the name of that river in Egypt, again?
Yeah. That one.
You and Mz 0% Quant Beta really should have a chat sometime. Could be educational for both of you.
Item # 6 (Gunshot wound to the penis.):
Ouch.
Ooh-err. Why are you googling about GSW’s to the willy, anyway? Doesn’t sound like much of a way to get your jollies to me.
Um, and if it was you, get well soon.
Item # 7 (Cold medicine give me an erection):
I’m really not sure how best to respond, dear googler, other than perhaps with ’Congratulations, that must represent quite the saving on Vi.agra!’ and ‘Lucky you’.
I think my head is beginning to hurt….

Tell the girl who’s seen the heartbeat to “Just relax!! It’ll happen!” then beat her about the head and shoulders with a large cucumber and see if that doesn’t remind her of her previous activities which got her in this mess in the 1st place. She’ll learn very quickly not to mess with us infertiles again.

Maybe it’s the wine, but I just can’t stop giggling. I’m going to start stringing random raunchy words together on Google to see if I can raise your blog.
Gunshot wound to the penis, huh? What have you been writing about?
And, now I have to ask…during IVF sperm sample time, did your husband beat to 4/4 time?
February 1, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Mr. DUck thinks I’ve lost it as you made me laugh so hard I had to pee.
February 1, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Ok on #4 is that a different country thing??? Cause I have never heard them pessaries or whatever in the US.
February 1, 2009 at 8:45 pm
What I want to know about #6 is why he, or a close family member, is googling this and not getting to a hospital emergency room (where you may encounter him in person Geohde) as soon as damn well possible. Unless of course they were the one with the gun.
Priceless!
February 1, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Sparrow phlebotomist? What on earth were they looking for – nutters!
February 2, 2009 at 2:48 am
Oh I can’t stop laughing
February 2, 2009 at 3:33 am
Dude, if you have a gunshot wound to the penis, you are beyond the help of Dr Google…
February 2, 2009 at 5:54 am
Why is it that I think she’s googling #6 because he cheated on her or something and she’s checking for options?
February 2, 2009 at 3:08 pm
You are so fucking awesome J. I lurve you.
February 3, 2009 at 10:31 am
Whom did these people ask these questions before the internet?
February 4, 2009 at 6:11 am
Oh my goodness how you make me laugh! The one about the gunshot wound to the penis made me giggle and then I had to stop. When I had my rotation at Detroit Medical Center we had a 19 year old come in with a gun shot wound to the penis. Apparently he said it was an accident. Well yes, I don’t suppose anyone would do that intentionally!

J.
You are a blessing to the internets and I consider myself so lucky to have found you each and every time I read you.
