Sometimes, I admit, I love Spam

This morning's batch included an advert for 'amatory pillules'. Isn't that the best phrase? I'm imagining tiny tablets giving each other some tender lovin', like little mexican humping beans. Isn't that cute?

Reminds of another one from a month or two back - 'retroareolar nodularity' direct translation: 'we haven't a clue what it is, but you've got a bit of a lump there, behind your nipple'. (Don't worry, this was from before I had the biopsy, and it turned out fine)

I love medical jargon!

Do you guys have any favourites?

"Mexican Humping beans"
*falls off chair from laughing*
That is genius!

I don't have any favourite medical jargon, Although I did go through 6 months of head X-rays and appointments when I was in my teens, just to find out that the protrusion from the back of my head is "an extended occipital bone", so what they could tell me after all that faffing around is that the bone at the back of my head sticks out, which is pretty much what I told them on the first appointment! I'd have been much more impressed if they'd managed to come up with a term that contained at least a few more syllables or something! :-D
