At the risk of being told off, I pass on a story from down under to give you a
smile
I'm sure someone (Ahmad?) will think of a meaningful interpretation anyway :-)
Grace

 In Melbourne one of the radio stations pays money, (£100-500), for people to
> tell their most embarrassing stories.  One morning's contest 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 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 laying on the sink and gave myself a wash in "that area", 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".
