I'm taking a course where,if I graduate, I'll be taking care of the elderly. The instructor had asked the students how we can identify if an elder had bed sores or not.Moisture was one of the causes as most elderly are bed ridden.She used one of the students as an example of being an elder; she asked the student if she was wet lightly, moderately or heavy,the student said that she was wet most of the time.I sat there and laughed in my mind.Funny thing is as we sat there, a fellow instructor (male) was present and he was blushing. It didn't dawn on the first instructor what she had said until only after our lecture. .I approached the student and asked what she thought about being asked this question;she said she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until I told her why most of us were blushing.When I asked her to repeat what she said,she bursted out laughing and started to blush. I thought that was funny.

I was still very young and working in a Dental practice. This gorgeous male patient was in the chair with all the bits in his mouth, suction etc. Saw this hair on his collar and though i would remove it. Grasped it and gave a tug, the only problem was that it was still stuck to his body. His eyes got real wide and i stood there blushing. At the end of the session neither of us could look the other in the eye. Talk about being embarrased.
