No, not that Dr. Mario!

My Status Update.

Well, my ribs and back still hurt . . . but not so bad . . . in fact they feel (comparatively) pretty good.  The secret: I’ve had two acupuncture treatments with Dr. Mario, in Potrero.

I must admit that I have been an “acupuncture skeptic”, but he’s doing something that is significantly decreasing my pain.  I have another appointment on Tuesday . . . I may become a convert!

Now, on to President Obama.

(Oh, I know I’m going to get a blistering inter-office e-mail from my boss, Dr. Fegg for this one.  I have never “warmed up” to Mr. Obama . . . but Dr. Fegg is a big fan.  I suspect, but have no evidence, that Obama is a follower of “Feggism”.  Both Fegg and I live in Costa Rica and neither of us are US Citizens.  However, we both have family and friends in the US, and what happens in the US affects us and the rest of the world.  Anyway, the following is just for fun . . . and I’m ready to suffer the consequences . . . so here we go:)

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business.

He had several hundred young layers (hens), called “pullets”, and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs (for you city folks).

The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn’t perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.

The farmer’s favorite rooster was old Butch, and  a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer John’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so It couldn’t ring. He would sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result…The judges not only awarded old Butch the “No Bell Piece Prize” but they also awarded him the “Pulletsurprise” as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: Who else but a Politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention?

“As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials.”    – -  Newt Gingrich
