As someone who has to provide them annually, there isn't anything routine about a stool sample.
I find providing a stool sample far less painful and annoying than having a PAP smear.
Lol, well you got me there. I've never had to do a pap smear since I don't have the equipment to smear (or is it pap?).
Yes, it's pap ... short for Papanicolaou test, named after the Greek physician Georgios Papanikolaou who 'invented' the test.
Not to be confused with Pat Smear, guitarist for Foo Fighters and The Germs.
Also, not to be confused with a pap schmear which goes great on a bagel and was introduced to the world by Avi Applebaum in 1926.
'Papa?' 'Nicole?'
Wouldn't that mean it's a smear? Like, the Turing test is a test, not a Turing.
