The real world is where dreams die and where your car can be
repossessed when you're just running in for a pack of Merits. In the
real world, it helps to have a good credit score, a nearby Planned
Parenthood, and a sense of humor because life is going to kick you in
the twins over and over whether you cry about it or not.
The real world is also a television show on MTV where no one pays a
bill, everyone has a cool name and group sex is easy to come by.
Getting a pap smear means trying to make small talk with your
gynecologist with your vagina in the way. It's a lot of pretending
that nothing humiliating is happening while discussing this economy,
which is why WASPs are better at it.
The good news is you only have to go once a year, unless you're dirty downstairs.
