Another Meaning for "Hot"

Yesterday morning I went to the hospital and swallowed a beautiful, although rather large orange and blue pill that contained radioactive iodine. I returned later in the day and again this morning to be scanned to determine if and at what rate the iodine was collecting in my thyroid. Of course the technician couldn't breathe a word of the results to me, but he did say he didn't notice anything spectacular.

After my scan this morning, Mark invited me up to his lab so that he could measure the radioactivity emitting from my neck area with the gieger counter. Needless to say, the reading was hot, hot, hot and the reader was clicking along like I was its favorite tune. Then Mark led me down the hall to visit a colleague, just so he could show him how "hot" his wife was!! It was all pretty funny in a "laugh at the things that scare the shit out of you" sort of way.

I should have results tomorrow afternoon.
