Is this a good day...?

Tomorrow I will get paid 255 Swiss francs to lie still and let assistant doctors scan me so they can learn how to use the equipment. I can meditate or fall asleep, if I like, while young doctors gain experience. I also get a free lunch. How's that for a win-win?

Well done you! I once volunteered to have a nasogastric tube put down into my oesophagus then a suction tube into my trachea. No free lunch unfortunately 🙁

Tomorrow in London a man will sit in a chair wearing an expensive hat.
Poor people will clap and be happy that the man is wearing an expensive hat.

Did you see the wonderful opera singer wearing that magnificent daffodil dress?

No, haven't been watching.

My wife’s a Dr. med., so I appreciate how important it is for doctors to get practice on live specimens. Book learning only goes so far….

Yes, all is wonderful in the garden ~ I have a nursery of seedlings growing really well; celeriac, sweetcorn, kale, Chinese lettuce, globe artichoke, coriander, rocket, beetroot, spinach, parsley & green beans.

Hmmmm…any pens for “meat” producers?🤔

this is gonna be a good day
even if ole moonbus writes an inspiration that jogs my brain into a frightful memory
in the spring of 1984, eight months after the second child was born, i went in to get myself snipped
(small humble brag, my wife's body reacted terribly to birth control so i decided to go under the knife to remove that complication)
anyways, i was lying there, naked to the world, a six foot two inch tall general practitioner waving a machete next to the most important equipment i've ever used, and he casually mentions that two medical students would be watching the procedure
they were about eighteen, very beautiful, extremely female, and they camped out right between my ankles
i wanted to share that i was usually much more robust,
all i managed was a squeak


i didn't get lunch

Only egg layers would be considered so they could help with slug patrol and poop for composting.

I remember as a kid having to sing God save the Queen. I wonder if they still do that in the schools?
