Placebo

      Although being a Cynic has its benefits, it does have one crucial disadvantage: Placebos never work.
      Some people have such faith in drugs that it really wouldn't matter if their pharmacist was on them at the time they filled their prescription: thereby filling their amoxicillin bottle with prescription Ulcerative Proctitis suppositories. Through their faith, they would still be cured (and have lips smoother than a baby’s behind).
      I however, am not one of these people. I was raised with a healthy dose of cynicism mixed with a dash of sardonic spice and a huge pinch of sarcasm. So although I may not be ready for miracle cures, I am aptly prepared for the workforce (and sick leave).
      So excuse me while I relish my lack of health while eating chicken noodle soup and watching movies while desperately trying to recover from the flu with futile antibodies duly prescribed by a physician who knows too much about medicine to ever enjoy sick days as much as the Cynic.

Insincerely,

P.S. Sadly enough cynicism is only contagious to those who’s minds haven’t yet been polluted with optimism. I highly doubt you could achieve it. So, go take your placebos and get back to work on the double!

P.P.S. I just watched Anakin turn to the dark side, and still have 3 DVDs to go before I switch to the Back to the Future’s and crack open another Cambell's.

P.P.P.S. Dark Anakin kinda reminds me of Humpty Dumpty
