Me: What the?.....hmmmm...looks like shingles to me.
DH (darling husband): It isn't shingles
Me: yes, it is.
DH: No it's not.
Me: Why are you asking me if you already know then.
DH: Well I don't know but I know it isn't shingles
Me: Again, why ask me if you don't want to know my opinion?
DH (getting pissed): I asked you because I wanted to know if something was there.
Me (getting pissed myself): so lemme get this straight, you haven't even looked on your back, but you KNOW whatever is there isn't shingles.
DH: I saw it in the mirror but I couldn't get close enough to actually study it.
Me: Well, I'm close enough and I say it's shingles.
DH: Nevermind.
At this point, we part ways, each to a different computer. I can sense the urgency in the room as both of us try to out-google the other trying to identify the mystery rash which I've already identified as shingles. I can out-google that guy any day as he's still a bit computarded when it comes to visiting any site other than CNBC and yahoo. Here is what transpired from there:
Me (GASPING): Holy crap! I've found the rash.
DH: What is it?
Me: OMG...
DH: WHAT??!
Me: Well, I don't know how this happened, but I'm positive that the rash isn't shingles.
DH: I TOLD YOU.
Me: Yes you did. I'm sorry
DH: You should be.
Me: It's hard admitting your wrong.
DH: Yah, especially for you
Me: Wow...that's really harsh
DH (laughing): I love you anyway
Me: Well, I'm still wondering how in the hell you got Syphilis on your back.
DH: WHAT?
Me: I know! I can't figure it out.
DH: I DON'T HAVE SYPHILIS ON MY BACK!
Me: I think you do.
DH: I'm done with this.
Me: I think you need to get checked out.
DH: I'm not discussing this with you anymore.
Me (now I'm the one laughing): Lemme google herpes then.
DH storms out.
Since this post would be worthless without pics, here ya go:
The next day I'm at work and receive a phone call from DH.
Me: Hello
DH: Hey, I just got back from the doctor.
Me: Oh ya? How'd that go?
DH: Well, you were right.
Me (silent...taking it alllll in)
DH: Hello?
Me: I'm still here.
DH: I said you were right
Me: Why do you doubt me Thomas?
DH: Whatever.
Me: So you'll be sleeping in another room until this clears up because I've never had the chicken pox and I'm at risk now because you have shingles.
DH: No you're not.
Me: Yes I am.
DH: The doctor didn't say anything about that.
Me (getting pissed because I've had a shitty day at work and I don't need this crap): Really? I guess the HEAD of friggen infection control here at the hospital is WRONG when he told me that I'm at risk, so I think I'll tell him that my husband said I'd be OK so sorry I took up 15 min. of his time talking to him about this issue.
DH sighing: I'm gonna get going now.
Me: OK, by the way, I told everyone at work you had shingles on your penis.
DH: click.

OMG, I'm laughing so fucking hard right now. And you can SO get chicken pox from him having shingles--my grandma got shingles and I had to find alternate care for Sam for several weeks because I was afraid he'd get chicken pox.
Crap, I'm totally laughing like crazy here at work! Syphilis!!!!
You should write for a sitcom, because this shit is gold.
