Why do female ENT (ear, nose and throat) assistants invariably have feeble squeaky voices?!

They: ………—…—-…
Me: ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?
They: …..
Me: COULD YOU SPEAK UP PLEASE, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE SAYING WITHOUT MY HEARING AIDS!

Best is when I’m in a busy waiting room trying to catch the moment they squeak my name

I read “J.Lo in a mesh suit” and excitedly clicked to find I had misread.

First time in many years that I've shaved my face, and I didn't even draw blood!

Those of you who know me or have seen pictures know I've had a 1--3mm beard'ish for a long time.

I'm having my throat slit† open in surgery tomorrow morning for a complete removal of the thyroid gland so I thought I'd spare a nurse some trouble and take a stab at cleaning away the hair.

No thoughts and prayers please. I'll report back here if and/or when I survive
