Purple stuff

There is a saying that states, “Truth is stranger than fiction.” I worked in an Emergency room in a large city hospital when, one evening, a young woman came in complaining of a “strange purple discharge”. One of our newest resident doctors had the privilege of trying to solve this perplexing gynocological problem. Totally baffled, he turned to the Attending Physician in charge for a consult. The old Doc looked at the woman’s chart and noticed that she had recently visited the local free clinic. He asked her why she was there, and she stated that the visit was to get birth control. He then asked, ” What kind of birth control did you get?” She said, “I got one of them diaphrams.” He then asked’ “Are you using contraceptive jelly with the diaphram?” “CONTRACEPTIVE jelly!” she yelled, “They never said it had to be CONTRACEPTIVE jelly!” True story.
