Last week, Lin wrote on her blog about an encounter with an acupuncturist. As usual, the account was seasoned by her sense of humor. That lighthearted account put me in a mood, so I wrote this comment:
So Ted [the acupuncturist] can jab away at you but can’t take you poking a little fun back at him? And then you get stuck with the bill?
Lin responded:
Hahaha! Leave it to you, Chuck. Where do you get these jokes??
It comes from my sharp wit. Or my twisted mind. Take your pick.
All that talk about acupuncture got me to thinking about my sore, aching feet. I searched the phone book. I searched online for the nearest practicioner of the acient art. Two and half hour drive to get there.
How hard can it be? Really? I spent the next day searching that deep well of infallible knowledge–the Internet and found the answer. There it was a map of all the spots on the entire body with a cross reference to maladies that were controlled by the various points. I decided to take a stab at it.
Hey! It worked. As they say on Myth Busters, “Don’t try this at home.” “Ever!”
YIKES!
Heh heh
You guys sure know how to stick it to each other. Such sharp wits just making all these pointed comments. It's good that friends can needle each other in such a tacky way and still keep it friendly
Bwahahahahah!!!
There IS something about acupunture that BEGS ridicule, I guess. It's just so… weird.
I loved Lin's entertaining narrative of her experience. And I love your sequel!
Push pins are not a bad idea.. maybe for the DIY acupunturist?!
Lin — Okay, those aren't my feet. They look way too nice. No bunions, or calluses. I really have more push pins than that. I was in the dollar store and there was this ginormous blister pack of push pins. Why not use them for acupuncture? Just saying . . .
Tell me those aren't really your feet! My question is: who has that many push pins at home????
