How to Encourage a Friend to get a Prostate Exam

A doctor did once tell me that if nothing else kills a man, eventually prostate cancer will. I understand what he was trying to say, but logically that’s true of anything that can kill you. If nothing else kills you, something finally will. Even if you live for eons, virtually immortal, eventually the one thing that can kill you will happen. It may be by accident, a deliberate act of an enemy, or self-inflicted after countless centuries of boredom and ennui. One way or the other, the one thing that can kill you will kill you. It’s destiny.

Just a cheery thought to liven up your day.

The idea of punishing a doctor by making him give you prostate exams reminded me of this clip from an old Magnum PI. I only ever saw this episode once, when I was a child, but I remembered it perfectly. This is what my brain retains instead of people’s names.
