SPECIAL EFFORTS In Melbourne, Australia, one of the radio stations paid money ($100-500) for people to tell their most embarrassing stories. This morning's one netted the proud owner $300. As the lady said... "I was due later that week for an appointment with the gynecologist when early one morning I received a call from his office that I had been rescheduled for early that morning at 9:30 a.m. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school and it was around 8:45 a.m. already. The trip to his office usually took about thirty-five minutes so I didn't have any time to spare. As most women do, I'm sure, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So I rushed upstairs, threw off my dressing gown, wet the washcloth, and gave myself a wash in "that area" in front of the sink, taking extra care to make sure that I was presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment. I was in the waiting room only a few minutes when he called me in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you all do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room, and pretended I was in Hawaii or some other place a million miles away from here. I was a little surprised when he said, 'My... we have taken a little extra effort this morning haven't we?', but I didn't respond. The appointment over, I heaved a sigh of relief, and went home. The rest of the day went as normal, some shopping, cleaning, the evening meal, etc. At 8:30 that evening my 18-year old daughter was fixing to go to a school dance when she called down from the bathroom, 'Mom... where's my washcloth?' I called back for her to get another from the cabinet. She called back, 'No... I need the one that was here by the sink. It had all my glitter and sparkles in it.'" Karin
