A reader sent me a picture of these medical exam gloves (powdered latex) being sold by Spic and Span at the Dollar Store.
A few things to note here
- I wonder how much Happy's hospital pays for their gloves? I think hospitals should start buying their gloves from Spic and Span once hospitals are expected to survive on Medicaid. Perhaps Spic and Span has discovered a whole new clientele for their medical exam gloves.
- If Spic and Span can make a one size fits all glove and sell them for ten cents a piece, why can't my hospital offer me the same. I probably rip two pairs of gloves for every pair that actually fits me.
- I'm going to start wearing these cheap medical exam gloves while I'm rounding with my iPad. That way I'll protect myself from the life threatening diseases I could get from drinking coffee at the nurses station.
- I kept thinking of the line from Chevy Chase in Fletch (one of the greatest movies of all time) when I saw this picture.
After they've conquered the market for cheap powdered medical exam gloves, it's on to condoms. I can see it now.
- Dr. Joseph Dolan: Drop your shorts and bend over.
- Fletch: No...we don't have to, I mean, maybe I just haven't been doing enough calisthenics...you know, my kidneys feel a lot better now, maybe if I just bent over like this every morning......
- [Dolan inserts his finger into Fletch's anus with an audible "pop" sound]
- Fletch: [singing] Moon River......[talking] Whew...ever serve time, Doc?
- Dr. Joseph Dolan: Breathe easy.
- Fletch: Yeah...breathe easy... Ahh!! Using the whole fist, Doc?!
Keep your junk Spic and Span with Spic and Span.
