A Humorous Look at the Bright Side of Cancer... and There Is One

That’s Not Something You Hear Every Day #6

I need to buy some. Duct tape, that is.

Yesterday, at the echo(cardiogram), the technician told me to “take everything off from the waist up” and I was having a problem taking my bra off because the prosthesis is so heavy and my arm is sore from rototilling the garden the other day and… well, it doesn’t matter why.

What matters is, I coyly turned my back toward my husband and said, “Hey, Ken, why don’t you unclasp my bra for me and pretend we’re having a good time?”

The tech laughed her head off, but I still think I need to duct tape my mouth shut. I’m constantly blurting out inappropriate things and then have the audacity to blog about it. Oh well, if you can’t make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of?

  1. I will GLADLY come down against duct tape. The world needs more people who say the things other people just think about!

    (I’m That Guy among my group of friends, and I tell you honestly – it’s a good post to hold. :)

  2. I still laugh thinking about that! Marie, you and your hubby are an amazing pair AND an inspiration in so many ways. Duct tape is NOT allowed. “A joyful heart is good medicine” Proverbs 17:22
    Love, “The Technician”

  3. At first I thought you wanted the duct tape to keep your boob from falling out…

    I don’t think you need the duct tape for keeping your mouth shut. I think it’s to tape you to your chair when you think of doing crazy things like ROTOTILLING!!??!

    btw, what did Ken say?

  4. B-

    Did you go to Just Write today? Had a sick kid, so stayed home. One of these days, I’ll get back there.

    Hope we can blab next week about all the embarrassing stuff we’ve done, hee hee.

  5. Debbie,

    That’s what the new properly-fitting-for-once bra is for. Holding the sisters in.

    It’s a small rototiller. I love it. Did it again today. I am a bit sore.

    What did Ken say about rototilling? He said, Keep on doing it so I don’t have to.

    Hee hee. I knew what you meant. He didn’t say anything, but just laughed.

    The technician, however, said, “I’m going to get something, but I’ll be RIGHT BACK… you guys always have tonight.”

    She was funny.

  6. RJ,

    HA! I’m so glad you read the post and weren’t mad (“Why is she writing about me?!”) about it.

    It was nice to get to know you a bit better, too, yesterday.

    Oh yeah, hi to the other two “Rs” and to K.R. You guys are all great.

    -Marie
