The question all Pregnant women are asked as they near the end of their pregnancies (in britain anyway) is "Are you still here?" usually asked in an accusatory kind of way. Of all the stupid things to say to someone who is feeling especially large, obvious and vunerable this must rank very highly. In every place of work there is also a couple from hell, whose jobs respectively are...female..trap every pregnant woman, person about to have surgery, or other vaguely worrying event against the filing cabinet and give her loud graphic details of every disater to do with childbirth, surgery etc. she can dream up. The bloke has to laugh at every expectant father, recounting gorey stories, telling him his love life will never be the same again.... you've all met one I bet!
