Today my sister and I went to get tested for HIV at the local free clinic. Lately we’ve been spending a lot of time going through all our earthly possessions and donating all our crap to Goodwill.

Getting an AIDS test and getting rid of old clothes are parallel in so many ways:

1.  People avoid weeding through their wardrobes. / People avoid taking STD tests.

2.  Going through your closet forces you to reflect on your past fashion choices and cringe. / An AIDS test forces you to reflect on your latest sexual partners and cringe.

3.  The types of random, disheveled creepers at the Goodwill Store are similar to the ones lurking in the waiting room at the free clinic.

So get it over with already: get tested and stopped hoarding all your ill-fitting jeans.
