To those of you considering having a sex life: don't. Unless you have a burning desire to be prodded (yearly!!!) with medival torture devices and pricked in private places, I highly advise against it.

John Donne: Holy Sonnet X
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so ;
For those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy picture[s] be,
Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou'rt slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,
And better than thy stroke ; why swell'st thou then ?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And Death shall be no more ; Death, thou shalt die
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so ;
For those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

Oh my goodness April! I was laughing my head off at this! But I totally agree - girlie exams are no fun. And what's up with doctors who either try to have small talk with you during the whole thing (HELLO! I'm trying to pretend I'm anywhere but here right now!) or those that explain exactly what they're doing as it's happening (I DO NOT want to know when you're scraping my cervix!).
