Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol - Dead
The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead
Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead
Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation -
What did you learn from this demonstration???
Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
'As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate,
You won't have worms!'
That pretty much ended the service.
(*disclaimer - I don't condone smoking, but I did think the joke was funny.)
For those of you who are sticking with my blog, I really appreciate it. A part of me thinks I shouldn't have started my blog until I got closer to the time of my banding. I don't want every post to be about - time is going by so slow, I can't wait to get my band, I hope I get approved by my insurance, blah, blah, blah. I can't wait until I can be the inspiration that you all are to me. Until then, I appreciate you hanging in there with me.
Funny :)
ReplyDeleteew worms! but that was funny :0) i'll continue to stick around..i know what it's like to post before the band :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Too funny! Hey, vent on...I've said anyone who says the pre-op period 'goes really fast' ought to be taken out back and punched repeatedly in their port!
ReplyDeleteI thought about waiting to start my blog too but waiting is what's making this time so darn difficult! I'll stick with you if you stick with me. Sounds fair. I love Maxine jokes...that lady cracks me up! Reminds me of my mom.
ReplyDeleteSince I am also a blogger blogging about wanting to be banded and doing the ridiculous insurance games, I completely understand where you are coming from. I've thought a few times over the span of this process as I start another blog post "oh what a boring meaningless blog. Not another day of 'damn, this sucks!'"
ReplyDeleteBut! There are a lot of people that have to do this. And I think there are a lot of people that give up because it does suck. And I know that finding the few blogs that I did find that had to go through this process REALLY helped me! I wasn't alone, so to speak.
That...and I realized about midway through it, I wanted to remind myself of what I was going through, what I was learning, what I was able to pre-process mentally. It may not be the most interesting, most beneficial, most helpful read for anyone but me...(and maybe not even me sometimes)...but it does help to rant and vent.
So vent away. And do not ever feel the need to thank us (although I can only speak for myself, here). Your blog is helping others, too! And I know that cause I'm one of 'em!
Sorry for the long comment but I thought it all needed to be said...
Thanks everybody. You made me feel a lot better. Blogging definitely does help me and I enjoy reading everyone elses.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the joke. The band is only one part of the journey. The best part, nonetheless. But you still have before and after and those are important too!
ReplyDeleteLOL That is soooo funny! Im going to send that to my mom.
