Oh oh! Stephan, it looks like you were a victim of a practical joke when ya
logged onto the U. of Micronesia's Web Site and got the information about
"swinging a rubber chicken over your head! DARN! Well those Micronesians
have always been said to have a terrific collective sense of humor! Yuck,
yuck!
I betcha all three students at the U of M were in on the joke. <smirk>
BTW.... I don't' know nuttting 'bout no person named "Spanky." But then like
most other citizens of Los Angeles, I stay off the busses 'cause I value my
life.

Your compassion <<<Don't believe it when folks tell that
"You don't look sick," because you
REALLY do!<<<
and your informed advice <<< . . . vitamins, . . .health foods,
. .exercise . . . [are useless] >>>
means a lot to me. I logged onto the Univ. of Micronesia
URL (http://mollusktics . . . . ) and I was advised to swing a
rubber chicken over my head [I think I've seen that advice
somewhere before?].
I saw an ad on the bus for a 'twelve-step' program, but it
was only for people named "Spanky," with an addiction to
black ink (octopus) ravioli. Boy, talk about your specialized
therapy groups! I might have to resign my commission as
Captain of the S.S. _____ .
