That's One Big Needle

I am rolling up my sleeve, expecting an injection to be administered on my arm. I watch the nurse take out a very very large needle - like 5 inches long - and fills it with the medicine from the vial.

Me : Ummm...isn't that needle a bit large for my arm? I mean, it looks like it will go right through my arm!!!

Nurse: (laughing) Yeah, it's so big because it's actually for your butt cheek.

I haven't had an injection on my rear-end since I was a kid and now I remember why I would cry.
