nothing takes your mind off of unnecessary racism like thinking of old people having sex?

advice from a friend:

I had to take one on a 73 year old man today, and I felt obligated to be really thorough...
Me: Are you sexually active with your wife?
Man: Yes...somewhat...(hesitant)
Me: ...
Man: ...
Me: Are you satisfied with your sex life?
Me, internally: Did I really just say that?
Man: I'm a 73-year-old man!
Me, internally: ...fuck...
Me: (nervous giggle) I'm just checking to see if you have any concerns about your sexual health...
Man: (adjusting his hearing aid)
Me, internally: GAAAHHHHHHH....
