Psychotic Nerve

A woman I know refers to the back pain she receives as the result of a bad "psychotic nerve." Well, she might be right. Seems to me a psychotic nerve would cause much pain in the brain and the back.

So, I did a little research. Indeed, there is a psychotic nerve in all humans - and a few other primate species such as the lemur.

Apparently, the psychotic nerve begins in the cerebral cortex, extends through the brain stem, and routes along the spine, ending at the buttocks. Thus, it is a huge pain in the ass the causes hallucinations and paranoia.

So, the next time your doctor tells you the problem rests with your ciatic (sp.) nerve, ask him to say it again. It could be your psychotic nerve.

A second instance of the psychotic nerve is found within the White House. You see, it takes a lot of nerve just to start two wars with no way out, and to bankrupt the country in the meantime. Oh, and, by the way, it demonstrates chronic pschotic nerve to cut funding in education, spy on ordinary citizens, and try to make permanent a tax cut for the wealthy.

Now, I believe, in this instance, the psychotic nerve travels from the cerebral cortex of Karl Rove, along the spinal column of Dick Cheney, and ends in the buttocks of George W. Bush. This accounts for their collective delusional behavior.

(Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you.)

The gecko in all of us...

Today my wife and daughter bought a gecko. A freakin' gecko. My daughter named the gecko "Angel" - which has nothing to do with lizards or any of the myriad of reptilian species.

Geckoes are as close to a pet rock as one can get - all Geico commercials aside. I am convinced that Geico chose the gecko as its spokes-lizard only out of linguistic convenience. The gecko, by my observation, has nothing to do with insurance, doesn't represent insurance in any way, and is the last thing you would think of when thinking of insurance.

That said (and I said it, didn't I?), Angel is a pretty low maintenance pet. Eats live crickets. Crawls under a rock. Comes out to cool off. Eliminates.

Now, it's hard to imagine that as a species, the human animal is part lizard - until you realize that nearly 60 million people voted for George W. Bush a second time. This makes us a country of geckoes led by THE BIG GECKO himself.

Sources within the Whitehouse note that actually Karl Rove is the top gecko. This accounts for his uncanny ability to appeal to the gecko in so many Americans, who, in spite of what they say, spend their days under rocks and eliminating.

It's been awhile...

...but, I'm back. I've been working my ass off: 48 hours per week. How can anyone work so much and expect to get anything done? Got me.

So, Valentine's Day is coming up - a little bit of a letdown after Groundhog's Day, I'd say. Actually, a big letdown. After all, what is more Yeetle Worthy: giving something heart-shaped and red to a loved one, OR a groundhog predicting the weather. Hands down, ya gotta go with the groundhog.
