It's nice that you're trying to be reassuring, and I am glad that your first experience with transvaginal ultrasound was not an unpleasant one. I've had them too, and while I prefer a nice manicure, they are, as you say, not the worst thing in the world. This is missing the point entirely.

That's so funny. I guess happy families are all alike, because this was how ours went:

I love the "cheetah" part, too. When my brother and I were little, we would play "20 questions" on car trips, and my brother would always pick "cheetah" for his thing for us to guess.

Excellent points all, thank you.

No, I REALLY am not.

You're wrong, I don't know how many people have to tell you.

Yeah, I already tried explaining this to this person of (dubious) interest. I say we just give up.

And, forgive me if I have this wrong, but Charlie was completely written out of the movies, wasn't he?

Whew, that was fucking fascinating, thank you!

Maybe they were trying to be extra friendly because I was a potential customer?

Maybe I am remembering this wrong, but I used to do a lot of business with Belgians - both here and there.

And, maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I used to do a lot of business with Belgian companies - it's not just ONE kiss, is it? And not two, like the French, but rather THREE cheek kisses in Belgium.
