Hello my potential minions. You have just ventured into dangerous territory. Continue further and you will not be able to wash some of these images and ideas from your mind...EVER. The following will not be tolerated:

  1. Weak Heart
  2. Weak Mind
  3. Weak Spirit
  4. Weak Tongue

If you have to question yourself regarding any of the aforementioned ailments, I suggest you return to your previous activity, pray to your God for forgiveness and move along as if nothing has occurred. Good riddance.

Now, you with the strength and conviction to journey into my mind, good luck. You will need and know how to use the following tools:
  1. The capacity to whore your ideas.
  2. The strength to stand for your beliefs and convictions.
  3. The ability to prove your rant, point and/or argument.
  4. The cunning to understand blackened sarcasm.

If you're still here, put on your helmet and insert your bite plate. This short bus is going down a bumpy road to nowheretown.

Without further adieu, today I have a bit of a rant. Upon nearing my exit of Philadelphia's wondrous transit system, I was catching up on some reading while overhearing a young Pre-Med student describe his day to his girlfriend in doctor corporate speak. I was about to stop eavesdropping when this was relayed to his uninterested better half, "I started learning today about under-promising and over-delivering. I think I met the Professor's expectations."

My head nearly exploded. There are innumerable items wrong with this statement. Let me list a few....

  • Part of the curriculum for future medical professionals (those who will be taking care of us 25-45 year-olds in a few years) is constructed so these burgeoning young minds will intentionally lie to their patients.

  • Honest diagnosis of a medical problem? Slim pickins.

  • Stress on the patient. Take 1: Dr. Turd, "Mr. Snyder, we're not sure we can remove your hangnail. We may have to amputate your arm." Mr. Snyder, "Ummm..." Dr. Turd, "Whoa, we got it with a pair of tweezers. Aren't you amazed with my ability!" Mr. Snyder, "Ummm..." ...and...SCENE!

  • His contradictory statement. The Professor's expectations? How could he know the professor's expectations when the Professor is teaching him to lie?


  • Where on this green earth did doing your prescribed job correctly go? With the time you're spending trying to manipulate the person who you're feeding chemicals to treat an ailment, you could be concentrating on hmmm...giving them healthcare. Wait...what? Complete the task you're payed an insanely inflated salary to perform? Possibly, Insurance rates could go down, patients could be healthier. Ailments are treated instead of side effects of the other scripts they're taking. People could live longer, society could flourish. But, nah...gotta cover my ass and make sure I look good.

    I think that the "Under-Promise and Over-Deliver" stigma should stick to certain industries like fast food, porn and to a certain degree business.

    On that note, I’m going to finish my plate of beef nachos and my roast beef sandwich and throw some DNA into a sock...Good health to you!

    Turn off your TV and pick up a book. Lonely ladies, get your fill of Fabio like men here
    .

    And if you want to get real live human sex, ladies...walk outside of your house. Men, take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth and bring a gawd dang rubber with you!

    Thunderstick out.
