How to Discuss Something You Really Don't Want to Discuss

BTW, Amazon says they'll have my second book for sale as of June 8th, and I see no reason to doubt them. 

I should have signed copies for sale in a couple of weeks, if you want to wait.

Either my timing is just great, or the internet has finally been shocked into silence.

I laughed out loud for real, and I rarely do that. It was the ultrasound joke that got me.

[Greg]

condolences, my man. I'm gonna pretend that that isn't a real exam that you're getting. but if it is, I'm sorry.

[Wes]

lol, I've had a scrotal ultrasound. Just tell all your friends that you paid a "professional" a thousand dollars to rub goop on your man parts. It's the truth!

[warrior two]

NIIICE. So now I have that image to live with.

[Greg]

Hmm, tough choice which of these is worse. Anal probe or testicle x-ray.

[BrokenToy]

Gold, true and untarnished, the last panel is praise worthy

[Sarkus]

Those scrotal ultrasounds are a bitch.

Or so I've heard.

[JSB]

scrotal ultrasounds are no laughing matter... to this day when I enter the hospital I hide my face in case the same girl that scanned me is there.

[Anon (for a good reason)]

I have gotten a scrotal ultrasound, and it's really not particularly humiliating. Okay, the goo is kind of gross, but I'd take that any day over a prostate exam.

scrotal ultrsound, ummm warm jelly

[Sir Dirgible IV]

I actually laughed out loud when I read "scrotal ultrasound." Not only do I rarely do that, but my roommate is giving me weird looks now. I'm trying to not tell him what I'm laughing at but now he's insistent on knowing. How can I get him to leave it alone?

[Judas Peckerwood]

Biggest out-loud laugh of the day, hands down -- thanks!

[reader]

I'm not sure what a scrotal ultrasound is, but I hope you're okay!

[I forgot my previous name.]

“You’re writing a comic about Rick. . .”
“Yes.”
“Getting a prostrate exam. . .”
“Yes.”
“Instead of doing a strip about you. . .”
“Yes.”
“Getting a scrotal ultrasound.”
“OH YES.”

Scott, you are a poet.

Sweet! New book comes out the day after my birthday! Thanks for the present, Scott :-D

[machu]

haha. scrotum

[simon]

Hope you're OK, I had one of those once, they found something malignant, it turned out to be my brain. Good luck!

[AC]

OMFG...today is a day I would like to have known how not to read. However since that is not the case, well done. I endeavor to scrub the images out of my mind.

[Ethan]

The joys of approaching forty. Thanks for the reminder, Scott!

[James]

I can say from experience that a colonoscopy is worse by far than either of those things. Not the procedure itself (you're unconscious for it), but simply the stuff that you have to take the night before. You have to drink like half a gallon of this stuff that tastes like satan's breast milk. You start off thinking, this can't be that bad but by the third glass you're sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth, and crying because you know that you have three glasses left...

[Walter]

Holy Radiation Batman!

[victoria]

OMG!! I was reading this one out loud to my young adult sons... We all yelled Rick's NGAH! but couldn't help laughing out loud. This one was hilarious!!

[jvwalt]

Hey, c'mon, don't knock the scrotal ultrasound. It's one of David Vitter's favorites.

[Soul of Wit]

Anal probe is definitely worse, unless there's testicular, um, compression in order to facilitate the ultrasound--YIKES!
