They Get Sex, You Get Fish
Canada, Clinic, Manitoba, Winnipeg | Healthy | January 10, 2018
(My husband and I had decided to go on a trip to the Dominican Republic with another couple. This couple is about 10 years younger than we are and more attractive. When we go to get our vaccinations before the trip, this happens.)
Nurse: *to the other couple* “Now, you two weren’t planning on getting up to anything naughty with the locals, were you?”
Male Friend: *grinning* “Like what?”
Nurse: *wags finger coyly* “You know what I mean. No sexual activity, okay? You could catch something that these shots won’t prevent.”
Female Friend: “Don’t worry, we won’t.”
Nurse: “Good to know. Have fun. Next!”
Me & My Husband: “That would be us.”
Nurse: *suddenly very business-like* “I have a warning for you two, as well.”
Me: “Don’t have sex with the locals?”
Nurse: “What? No, I was going to warn you not to eat the fish. It might make you sick.”
(As we walked away, my husband said “I feel vaguely insulted and I’m not sure why.”)
