Maybe you will say gross or dumb. Okay, I will try to tell you story of urologist.
I had an appointment with urologist as my family doctor said for me to see four years ago. I showed up with male terp. It was first time I got to urologist. Okay!

When Dr. Cerone came in room, he looked at my face and he looked at the paper and looked up at my face again and he looked down at paper again as terp gave me environmental information. Then finally Dr. Cerone asked me if my name is Paul, and I said yes. That is me. He said I don't look fit for my name. I asked him what he meant. He said my name doesn't fit me. I said why not. He said I don't look this way. I said I got this from my father, and he said so and asked me if I looked like my father, and I said no my father was shorter and very thin looks like Eli Wallach, and my father got name from his father who was Irish. He said I don't look Irish.

I said well, my father's mother was German anyway. He said I don't look German. I said well McGann is Scottish. He said I don't fit right. I said well my mother is Italian. He said yes, I look exact like Italian.
I said well, I am proud of my father who made my life so special. I have to honor my father. He said well, but my look doesn't fit, and I asked him if I should add "o" and he said perfect idea McGanno to show more Italian.
I said nuts!
Then he asked me to push down my pants for anal test. I asked him how many fingers to test. He said he would kick on my butt. I said fine he was welcomed to kick my butt, but I want to know how many fingers to test. He said just one. I said I suggest two. He got puzzled and asked me why. I said the insurance required second opinion. He laughed and said nuts and he will have second finger for second opinion next year. Haha!
