did it ever make your throat muscle constrict?

No, but I wasn't driving an interstate when it happened, so I was able to do some stretches to try and de-cramp my neck right away. I've never had my throat muscle constrict. I'm sitting here swallowing repeatedly at the thought of it.

I've used "not unless I was abducted by aliens" in answer to the "any chance you're pregnant?" question.

I like this one.

"are you sure?"

"yes."

"are you really sure?"

"yes."

"but are you really sure you're sure?"

"I bled out all over my panties just this morning. Wanna see?"

the "any chance you're pregnant?" question.

My doctors usually take "no" for an answer there. But they follow it up with a question about my form of birth control. Since going off the pill several years ago I usually answer, "My personality."

Now I want a doctor to ask me about birth control (it's been years since one did) so I can use "These bruises." as the answer.

you've got a point there. i was trying to loosen it with my free hand, but it wasn't doing much good.

I don't think she's slept in two years.

the craziest thing about the co-worker? after she had the last one, she was back to work in two weeks. mostly because she was a temp and she wasn't getting paid for that time off, but still.

ha! i like that one.

I've used "not unless I was abducted by aliens" in answer to the "any chance you're pregnant?" question.

I often use "unless there's a star rising in the east, no"

I use the "Is there a star in the east?" one too.

In my research we sometimes get people drunk in the laboratory. The ethics board requires us to get a pregnancy test for all women before giving them alcohol, no matter how convincing their belief that they could not be pregnant.

For a while I thought that this was needless interference, but it turns out not everyone can be trusted to know these things. For instance, a woman may be so embarrassed that she recently had sex with her hated ex-boyfriend in a moment of weakness that she "forgets" about it when telling the assistant that she hasn't had sex in the last year. And in a college population, being a self-identified lesbian doesn't seem to preclude having unprotected sex with men on occasion. So we just use the pregnancy tests on everyone.

Soooo, Rick, where do you work again?
