One day while I was on the phone with my friend, we got on the topic of getting a physical. I annoyingly exclaimed how I HATED peeing in those stupid cups because it is so uncomfortable to have to hold it between your legs while you pee. She then grasps this real deep and serious tone and goes 'Do you want to know what I've always wondered? How do they know your not on your period? If you are, you can't pee, only blood will come out. Do they really want a cup of blood?'
-----She was SIXTEEN!!!
