. WTF??? You just called every man who's had a prostate exam, gay. Not that gay is bad, but if the label doesn't fit, why apply it?
In England (where the English language comes from) "Being frightened of getting wood in case one thinks oneself might be gay" is Not the same as "calling every man who has had a prostrate exam gay" Humour is to be found in the most unlikeliest of circumstances, for instance I laughed at the last funeral I attended. In actuality, many folk laugh when frightened or nervous, it's a "coping mechanism"
Yes, maybe at my age I should have a prostrate exam, ( without laughing about bottom things) But guess what? I am not going to, I am not going to stop riding my motorcycle either, I am not going to quit smoking, I am going to carry on eating bacon sandwiches (Hurrah for the "bacon thread" by the way) Only one thing in this life is certain...we will all die.. I would rather not know if there is something terminally wrong with me, that way I can carry on enjoying myself till that day comes , I personally could not have major surgery of any kind, I would rather say "it's my time to go" Not that I think anyone else should be the same, far from it. Of course it's "good news at the doctor today" for anyone who has the guts to have a checkup and find out they are OK, and I applaud anyone who does this.
I am not that brave and would rather go out laughing childlike in ignorance.
The "finding of humour in anything " and laughing and giggling, is, by default a good antidote against heart attacks.
