   Yes but do you tell them that while wearing an eye mirror in such a fancy and stylish way, for that air of faux authority?

   By “sanitarium”, did they mean mental health facility or was he confusing it with “sanitorium”?

   I ask because I live down the street from a former TB hospital. You can still see the ghosts of the letters SANITORIUM above the front entrance, even though the building has been a facility for developmentally disabled kids for fifty years. And yes, people did go there to live out their remaining years after being diagnosed.

   Do you also end all your diagnoses with exclamation points?

   I wish I could send my mother-in-law to a sanatorium/sanitarium!

   Wow… at first I thought this was just another example of a head mirror drawn all wrong, but after closer examination of the man – his bearing, his posture, his look of intense concentration – I realize he’s not a doctor with a head mirror after all – he’s a medical prognosticator with a telepathic intensifier disk attached to his forehead, with which he foresees this woman’s dark future. In fact, I think I remember seeing ads for his $3.99/minute hotline on the Sci-Fi Channel.

   Sorry, “SyFy.”

   @Bryan L:

   Since he discovered the medicinal properties of a well seasoned chicken prepared with a secret covering.

   Man, I do feel cured from my illnesses after a bite of that chicken…

   I meant “coating”… Maybe “English scrambling” is a collateral effect of that delicious medicine…

    The emphasis on nothing really sets it off for me. If he would of said “There’s nothing I can do”, I might not have believed him, but NOTHING…Well damn, doesn’t get more serious then that.

    So that was the meaning of Socrates’s last words… “Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Please, don’t forget to pay the debt.”

    Ha ha! Yeah he really looks like Colonel Sanders – that KFC guy. Also dont you just love it when the letters get big and bold when they want to stress something.

    What do you use an eye mirror for? And how should it be placed.

    I’m not sure whether that report is good or bad!
