Here is a story submitted by an ER nurse:

One afternoon a fellow brought his wife in. He told the triage nurse that he thought his wife had been having an affair and he wanted us to do a pelvic exam and tell him whose sperm we found. We tried to explain that sperm did not carry labels with their owner's names on them. He had heard about DNA testing on television and thought we could do DNA testing in the lab while he waited. We suggested that they would need to work out their marital problems another way.
