Wonderful post, a real day-brightener (looking at 8in. of snow
outside)........
But people, Ssshhhh......careful what you say. Before we know it, OCLD will
appear on p. 21429 of the Psychiatric Reference Manual or whatever they call
it....and shortly thereafter The Drug Company
(Smif-Kline-Glaxo-Pharma-Schmarma-Bayer-Elf and Sons, Inc. GMBH Pty. PLC
S.A. will produce a wonder drug, Neiklotex, to cure it.
(Caution: in clinically-conducted trials, side effects in a sample of 13
were found to include drowsiness, catatonia, cramps, flatulence, kidney or
liver failure, teen-onset Alzheimer's, incontinentia, mania, priapism,
aneurysm, prolapsus ani/vaginae, bronchitis, phlebitis, and/or paralysis;
statistically insignificant portions of the sample reported others,
including death.)
