"Majo I am really sick, I need to see a doctor." I moaned "I will call the doctor and he will come to the house and it's free!" she said. Oh how very civilized were my last thoughts as I fell back to sleep.
The dapper doctor arrived, went over my symptoms wrote out a perscription and said " I will give you a shot to make you more comfortable." Finally after a year and a half I was able to use the phrase I practiced so perfectly! "Por favor, use una jeringa nueva." (please, use a new syringe) "My dear," the good doctor replied "this is not Somolia, we are in Argentina. Do you have any cotton buds and alcohol?" "No." I said "Perfume?" he asked, "Is this okay?" handing him my bottle of artesanal Tuberose. "Mmmm, better not use that, my wife will think I am having an affair." as he pulled out a bottle of cheap men's cologne called Kevin. Not civilized I thought. I can tell you the stench of cheap men's cologne wiped on my ass was far worse than my first ever syringe in my butt.

Ok... I realize I'm commenting on something you wrote a year ago... but this made me laugh outloud. Thank you. I needed it today.
Yeah! That was freakin´funny! Now I see the ads all over the place advertising that stench in a bottle!
Love it!! Fabulous story.
But the first time ever?
Yes, first time to have a jeringa in my culo! But since moving here, it seems everytime I get sick this is the cure all, so it certainly wasn´t the last.
That is crazy funny.
But now I'm thinking that if maybe I had a little touch of Kevin, I would get over this cold already. None of the other remedies are working!
Why would you want your husband to think you are having an affair? ;-)
eh?!
