Don, you are right. These claptraps are amusing and can be respected as medicine for all kind of our pain: our PD and the drugs together with their unexpected and uneasy side effects, our fears, and the 11/09/01 attack, and more and more. Go on, everybody, let us laugh. With smile and laugh you are able not only to stand these problems, but, I am sure, to overcome them. It was an other thing I've learnt before our "new world" became to our country if you are down and very sad, just smile a lot on your own, be brave and say: go ahead!
