Am I pregnant?
This week I've had a few days of medical tests and treatment and at each appointment I've been asked 'are you pregnant?'.
As a 57 year old bearded bloke, I found it odd and amusing but also daft. I don't even have a beer belly!
It's a crazy world, but it's good to laugh. New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

You could well be, just haven’t admitted it to yourself yet.
Does said anticipated offspring have dibs on the Defender?

I would guess they're following a proforma and no one wants to risk being Karen'd for making assumptions about people these days.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Snap ......and I'm 6ft 5in and built like a BSH. They sort of feel a little embarrassed and answer it for me or say you dont need to answer this one.
My local hospital asked me how would I like to be addressed.
I responded:-
Mr. S...d, Sir or Nigel.
They didn't hear me right, so I'm now Sir Nigel !
Friends who came to visit me & had heard this, laid it on by constantly referring to me as "Sir Nigel" - so it has really stuck now.

🤔 Well my wife says I've been moody and grumpy this week...........

Next time, say you don’t know and ask them for a pregnancy test. If they refuse, claim you have suffered discrimination.

If you couldn't possibly be pregnant then why do you have nipples? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Interesting thought, but now I'm worried that somehow I've lost my uterus. New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
