I was sitting in clinic
...doing the med student thing of sitting around, looking attentive. This was until the consultant, who was having some problems with his computer, then just said to me,

'....oh, computers are just like women aren't they - they never work... just like my wife really, don't you think?'

Myself, being the token female, having not had a particularly good day, decided against every fibre, to answer back...

'Actually, no. I have to disagree with you there - I think they're more like men.'

'Really?' says he, looking patronisingly over his glasses, 'How so...?'

'Well,' say I, 'For a start, when you remove the packaging, you are always disappointed by what lies beneath. And then, despite the number of upgrades, patches etc. - it never seems to work quite right. And then, just to rub salt into the wound, a week later, you walk past the shop you bought your initial model from to only find a newer, nicer, faster, more reliable and better looking model has just come onto the market.'

Cue gaping mouth and shocked expression from said misogynistic arse.

Despite this outburst, I still passed that particular clinical firm. I do however maintain that it was due to the fact that he rather liked breasts.
