short, but unbelievable

*sigh* I wasn't even sure what to title this one... I was in a room with a client, taking care of all the normal stuff associated with a vaccine visit - is Dexter on heartworm preventative? - has he had any coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea? - has he ever had problems with vaccines in the past? etc.... Well, part of the routine is taking vitals - temp, pulse, respiration... and yes, we have to take animals' temperature rectally. So, while I'm taking the temp (with an assistant holding the dog) Mrs. Uneducated says "Oh dear, will that make him gay?" Excuse me?? "I know you need to know if he's running a fever, but I'm just not sure what I'm going to do with a gay dog after you take his temp that way." Oh my... We tried to explain that no, it wouldn't make Dexter gay - but I'm not convinced that she believed us. *shaking head*
