Early Traumas Can Lead To….
I saw this picture on Twitter. If you are too young then you have no idea what it is. The caption that someone wrote for it was hilarious:
I trace my alcoholism back to the day I lost a patient on the table on what should’ve been a routine spare rib procedure.
Now, that’s comedy and I thought I would share. Also, we did a parody of this game in the Placebo Journal:
You see, making fun of yourself is therapy!!
I played that game a very ……………. long time ago. It might still be in the family house my gosh. Shows my 67 year old age mind you! Gotta clean out that house now as my mother and brother died. My bro never married, lived with our mother, but he worked in a family business from 3:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. seven days a week and did the work around our mother’s house for her. Didn’t do nothing living in the basement mind you as he worked his arse off. He went to bed about 7 P.M. to get up and go to work at the family business at 3:00 A.M. I thought that was weird but he was still personable with family. He had a brilliant mind and unfortunately didn’t finish college.
Not because he couldn’t do it. He was unhappy. He got straight A’s from a calculus teacher Dr. Rose Carney who flunked my dad in the 50’s and who just so happened to be a student at the University of Chicago that was wafted to a place called Los Alamos to work on something called the atomic bomb. She got her Ph’d and lived out her teaching life in a small Catholic college. When she died, it was said she signed over her royalty patents on the timing device on the A-bomb she developed to the college when she went to work there. I could see that. Work on a device that kills thousands of people and go regress to teach calculus in a small community college to students. Get away from that horror.
My brother David got 100’s on her tests and the closest kid behind him was in the 60’s. He unfortunately didn’t have a sense of direction and dropped out of college after a year and a half and went to work in a family business. He had success there mind you. Kurt
That’s a really interesting story. Thanks for sharing!
And it cracked me up!
My God did this bring back memories of days gone by! Thanks Doug!!~
