What not to say when you’re getting a boob-biopsy (all fine, looks benign):
Jo: “Wow, that local anaesthetic’s good, isn’t it? I reckon without it, what you’re doing would hurt like a bastard”.
Doctor: “Yes. Well, it’s good to know it’s working”.
Jo: “Certainly is. With the local, it just feels like you’re giving me an inappropriate massage”.

With the potential of being placed in a situation where they are the Dr and you are the patient, i believe you have just inspired an entire future generation of medical professionals.
I believe this exchange could also be used quite effectively during a pap smear.
I also find that pap tests are made more enjoyable if you utter a small "quack" when the speculum is opened, then look around innocently as if you don't know where the sound is coming from.
Either that, or a comment involving the phrases "Medicare card" and "While you're down there".
Schmoo. Yiddish has all the best euphemisms.
