A Picture of Health

We applaud the recent suggestion that mammograms be made available in Myer Stores. It is a wonderful application of the ‘if Mohammed won’t come to the mountain, take the mountain to Mohammed’ principle. In our view this is just the tip of the iceberg.

M: What’s next? Colonoscopies at Coles? Eye-tests at Ikea? HA! Get it? Eye-kea?
S: Oh for goodness sake. I was thinking more along the lines of the following:
 

Prostate checks at SuperCheap Auto and AutoOne.

Diabetes screening at McDonalds.

Childhood immunisations at Toys’R’Us.

Hearing tests at rock concerts.

Lung capacity measurement in designated smoking areas of pubs.

Family planning advisers in the back of taxis at 2am.

Marriage counselling at Blockbuster and VideoEzy. 

M: Now there's a plan! My husband and I have almost come to blows when deciding between ‘An Affair to Remember’ or the Rambo trilogy.
S: Who won?
M: We compromised.
S: By renting a good drama instead?
M: Better. I was allowed to rent 'An Affair to Remember' and he was allowed to live.
