028. Diagnosis

Doctors who give advice to people going through withdrawals are obvious idiots.

February is a stupid month. I don't mean that based on artificial flavoring and blatant marketing strategy day. Leap year and all that. Screws with the calender and gets in the way of Saint Patrick's Day.

Speaking of which: "Drinking kills braincells."

News flash. Alcohol abuse, we're talking drinking like a fish, full on inebriation regularly, can cause serious neurological damage, like Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Cells injured are dendrites on neurons in the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in learning and physical coordination. But even in such extreme cases, there’s a lack of evidence that alcohol kills brain cells.

Anyone else have a ridiculous old wives tale? Wait. Don't answer that.

Every time we talk I feel like I'm being lobotomized. Slowly.

What is your favorite book?

Oh, I only have two, they were left for me by my mother. One is about a princess under a spell who can only be saved by True Love's Kiss!

...The other is called 'One Hundred Helpful Housekeeping Hints'.

Why would anybody do that to a mockingbird?

No mockingbirds die in the book. It's from a figure of speech. You need to read the rest.
