I heard this one last night, presented as a FOAF story:
Boy breaks up with girl, who in her despair picks up a man at a bar,
comes home with him, and has casual, unprotected sex. After some days,
she experiences bad itch in her crotch. The girl goes to a medical
doctor, which upon examining her looks very serious and concerned, says
nothing, but gives her an appointment with a specialist. Girl off to
specialist. He/she examines the girl, turns very grave, makes some
notes, and tells her that she will have the results of the test in a
week.
The bewildered girl goes home. The next week, the police turns up on her
doorstep to question her. When she ask why, they explain that the police
is routinely contacted by doctors in every case of corpse-worm[1].
It turns out that the man she slept with, worked at a large hospital,
and had engaged in necrophiliac activities, as he had access to dead
bodies. Since the girl had been in his house, the police were able to
track him down.
Creepy. It has all the ingredients; sex, death, revulsion, the three
visits..and a moral.[2]
[1] Or whatever. (This term calls for a language mechanic. Cindy K., how
would you translate "lik-orm" ?)
[2] Which is: Always ask him what his last date said when they parted.
