I floated this one around at my workplace. Once passed the off putting opening remark by Mona. The consensus was that this is very likely an intervention, explaining the presence of Lucas. Just a wild guess, but what are the odds?
Because “OH MY GOD, A PAP SMEAR IS SO EMBARRASSING!” Really? I do enjoy the strip, and I do enjoy acting like a kid, but it’s a medical procedure- and an important one at that- so, why be ashamed? Sure, you may not have meant to share it, but the guy’s your friend. He wouldn’t really care.
Why must they call it a SMEAR? Isn’t that a little graphic? If she’d said, “I’m going in for a Pap test,” that wouldn’t have been so embarrassing, would it?
It is, I think, not so much that Mona is embarrassed at mentioning a Pap (for it’s originator, Dr.Papanicolaou) smear as that she is chagrined at not having been more circumspect in the presence of her yes/no boyfriend Lucas. Mona usually is more tight-mouthed, not so forthcoming.

Donna has that guilty look. Better ask what she’s been doing.
