Ouch one and ouch two

1. It's parody but it makes me wince. I guess that is what good parody does--especially if there is a chance that somewhere it's not parody, but real. Yikes.


2. I am having a tooth extracted today. A root canal gone bad. I'm calling it the West Virginia Diet. I am looking forward to when it's all over, so I can walk through the waiting room with a big wad of bloody gauze, moaning and mumbling: Run away! Get out while you still can!
