Flash Fiction Friday- the 40 year old virgin


"I'm a little nervous"said Bob 
"Nothing to worry about" replied the nurse
"I've never done this before." he said
"At your age!! Well it's about time!!" she said
"I've been on him for years, you'd think he was a virgin or something 
the way he is carrying on like this"said his boyfriend Joe.

Here you go G-man!! It's that time of year again and I found my muse for Friday night's 55!! October is overwhelmed with pink ribbons every year from company's exploiting national Breast Cancer Awareness month, But did you know that September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness month!! 1 in 6 men will be affected by this disease and early detection is the key. It is a little known fact that Prostate Cancer kills more men then Breast Cancer does to women, why ? because we have raised the awareness to such a level and so much research has been done to help save us, now we need to save our men!! Boys get your butts down to the doctors and have your prostates checked!! I'm talking to all of you, G-man, Syd, Cliff, Old Geezer, Monkey man, Brian, Larry G, Eric Alder, all the blogging men, ladies get them to the doctors and checked out!! now i need to go remind my own honey...

Awesome 55! Great reminder for all the men in our lives.

lime said...

well done, m'dear. it really is important and there's no good reason not to do it. certainly easier than a pap smear or a mammogram!

They have a billboard around here that says "My husband died of 'that looks uncomfortable'" to advertise new scanning technology. But I suspect this guy isn't going to be too upset with the old technology.

Nice 55er good use for saying something that may save someone's life.

Syd said...

My father had prostate cancer so I have gotten "checked". Not my favorite thing to do.

magiceye said...

good wake up call!

Bubba said...

This 55 really touches me, but I'm not saying where.

And don't worry about me, I always get my check-ups. Thank goodness my doctor is a little lady - a bit embarassing (em-bare-assing?) perhaps, but less 'uncomfortable' in a more important way.


WORD VERIFICATION: mangynco
DEFINITION: I'm not sure, but it sounds vaguely related to this post.

(What a coincidence!)

Tina said...

LOVED the ending. Thanks for trying to put this out there, screening and early detection are so important! My 55 is here. Nice to meet you!

Cheryl said...

Nicely done. I love a post with a message, especially a message I've never heard before. 3 cheers for your 55!

Jen said...

It's difficult enough to get them to see the doctor when they're sick...darn near impossible when they think they're healthy...

Maude Lynn said...

I'll remind my husband. Of course, that means he'll have remove his head, if you know what I mean.

Me said...

Early detection is definitely key. My dad is a prostate cancer survivor.

Of course, I've lost two aunts to breast cancer, so that is a worthwhile cause too...!

Great 55!

Jannie Funster said...

No, I did NOT realize prostate kills more men that breast cancer does woman. I'll make sure to schedule my hubby's annual soon. Oh joy, oh bliss for him. :)

Good, helpful 55!

Clean and Crazy--You ARE crazy, but like an angel is crazy. That P Cancer WILL getcha, guys.

I have been "through the mill", did not mind at ALL the many procedures, including the expensive CYBERKNIFE!
And a hormone shot with checkup every three months.

Thanks SO MUCH for this "55" girl!!!
