Awe-Ite

Today i go in for a colposcopy due to my recent abnormal Pap smear.

The etymology of the word "colposcopy" is from "kolpos" in Greek which means, well, pussy.

Everything is from Greek.

A pamphlet was mailed to me telling me exactly what to expect and how to prep for it. Nothing in the vagina 24 hours prior to the procedure. I had never put anything like that in my calendar.

The accompanying letter advises that i "may bring an iPod or MP3 player to this appointment".

Hmm... Let me see. They're gonna be stinging me on the inside with vinegar and snipping off part of my cervix. What would be an apropos soundtrack to that?
