Why? No Really, WHY?

I have nothing against people with Bladder Infections.  No really, I’ve had them myself.  But, well, ok, let me put it like this…

1.  You have a large hairy growth on your big toe.  It’s been there about a week and is already the size of a small hedgehog.  It doesn’t hurt, but there is a distinct odour of cabbage soup emanating from your sock area which is worsened with prodding.  What do you do?

a)  Summon a professional
b)  Call NHS Direct
c) Visit jobeaufoix.com

2.  Every time you bend over you hear The Muppets Theme Tune.  It is worse if you have eaten parsnips.
What do you do?

a)  Consult your local physician
b)  Ask your family/friends if any one else has had a similar experience
c)  Check out www.ihearmuppets.com
d)  Visit jobeaufoix.com

3.  You have sliced off one of your lower limbs.   There is seepage.
What do you do?

a)  Faint
b)  Call an ambulance
c)  Pop it in a carrier bag filled with frozen peas and head off to the nearest Casualty Department
d)  Visit www.jobeaufoix.com

Nb  If you answered ‘visit www.jobeaufoix.com’ to any of the above you are mad and should probably have yourself committed, or at least have a chat with someone kind and caring who will point out the error of your ways in firm but gentle way because, Me…No…Doctor

Comprendez?

So as I was I saying, I have nothing against people with bladder infections, or indeed erectile disfunction, whooping cough, muscle spasms, arthritis and a Timmy Mallet Fixation, but:

I DO NOT WANT LINKS TO THEM ON MY SITE

There is no point

It is silly

Stop.

Ok?

Good.

    Well, frankly, I’m disappointed. I used to consider you a person I could turn to, to find information on how I might live with those embarrassing ‘intimate’ ailments. Pah.

      Hmmmm, well, I don’t mind being a shoulder and all that, but I can’t be responsible for everything. I mean what if I get it wrong? Sudocrem can only do so much you know??

      My pleasure Deanna. And I’m seeing E’s teacher next week. Apparently I am making large Christmas letters for E’s play. Said teacher has told other Mum’s but not actually informed me. Hmmmm. We will be having a chat.

    I’m with Sally. And now I’m off to find someone who can help me deal with my nipple issues rather than just lead me up the garden path like you’ve done, you fake doctor, you… (BTW, feel free to delete this comment if it leads to your getting links you don’t want). PM x

      Dearest Potty. As I’ve told you many a time. There is nothing wrong with your nipples that a good dose of carrot and brandy soup wouldn’t cure. Apply both internally and externally. They’ll be back to normal in no time. And remind Signor Potty that some thing should just be kept in the garden where they belong. Tsk.

    Disappointing. I came over to get some advice about a *friend’s* hairy toe, but I see there is nothing here.

      Rosie Rosie Rosie, please stop worrying about that toe. I’ve been doing some research and have sourced some special socks and shoes for you. No one will be any the wiser at the Christmas bash my sweet. x

    Unlike any of your other readers, I have none of these things. So I hope you treasure me accordingly.

    But what about those nice people from Nigeria who want to put thousands, nay millions, into your bank account? Surely that’s relevant?

    Just found your blog and loved this post. My husband, who is a GP, would be delighted to send over some of the conditions he has had to examine over the years. He says he will suggest http://www.jobeaufoix.com in future and thanks you profusely…
