Health Fairs

For my internship I have been going to a lot of health fairs. I tell people about the importance of pre cancer screenings and if cancer is caught early it is more treatable. Then I proceed to throw brochures at these people. At one of my fairs last week I had all my brochures displayed as well as two models on the table. One of a colon and one of a uterus. At the beginning of the health fair a guy in his late 20's with tattoos and piercings walked up to the table took one look at the uterus looked at me and turned around and walked away. Too funny, I thought this guy was hard and nothing could bother him, but apparently a plastic model rattled him!
Towards the end of the fair another man walked up to the table looked at the colon, looked at me and smiled and proceeded to bend over and sniff the colon. I looked at him and then the colon and I said, "Sir, It's not scratch and sniff"

Oh the people you meet at health fairs.
