When the time came to ask her to push her forehead against the bar and chin on the chin rest, you guessed it I asked her to put her chins on the chin rest. Cue ghastly silence and very red faced yours truly !

David, you just gave an entry here without meaning to.
It's called a "digital" exam because his finger (one of the digits on his hand) is inserted to check on the prostate.
From Wiki:
A finger is a type of digit, an organ of manipulation and sensation found in the hands of humans and other primates. Normally humans have five digits, termed phalanges, on each hand (exceptions are polydactyly, hypodactyly and digit loss). The first digit is the thumb, followed by index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger or pinky. Some other languages use the same generic term for all five digits of a hand.

It makes perfect sense now that you've explained it to me! :laugh:
Gawd, how embarrassing. I guess we need to be careful about what questions we ask in this thread. ;)
Kerry:
I was at an exhibition of contemporary art at an art museum in Sydney. Primarily abstract paintings and some sculpture on show. I approached an item that was listed as a sculpture in the catalogue. However, all that was there was an empty plinth and a blank, white backing board with the catalogue number.
It was the first day of the exhibition and I presumed that particular item had been held up for some reason.
Before moving on to the next piece, I couldn't help but overhear two elderly ladies, who were standing in front of the empty plinth.
They were enthusiastically appraising the work as cutting-edge, avant-garde genius!!!
You have to be very careful what you say out loud in an art museum.
It later occurred to me that maybe the joke was on me. Maybe the empty plinth was the art work.

I just read this whole thread for the first time. "Analog" is even funnier than "digital" in this context!! :laugh:

I know, right?! ;) You're the first one to allude to the potential joke.
