And then, to top it all off, I decided to smoke a cigarette. For those of you who may be new here, or have a short memory, I quit smoking about 2 months ago. Luckily, there’s some sort of super-molecule in a former smoker’s body that reacts badly to a cigarette after quitting. (That’s not a scientific fact, I just made that up, so please don’t harass me for saying that). In any case, that one cigarette:

  1. Tasted terrible while smoking it
  2. Made me sick as a dog about an hour later
  3. Left an aftertaste that got worse and worse

Needless to say, I’m still a FORMER smoker, so I guess some good came out of last night, but I still feel bad that I was a jerk. I need to make up for that. We’re all human, and we sometimes cause pain, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to make things right. So, I’ll be humbly attempting that for some time.

Morals of this story:

  1. Don’t be a jerk.
  2. If you are a jerk, make up for it.
  3. If you smoke, quit.
  4. If you quit, don’t light one up.
  5. If you smoke one after quitting, you’ll feel pain.
  6. If you feel pain after you’ve been a jerk, you deserve it.

I woke up this morning to see not one, but two news stories on my local news channel that just made me spitting mad. Two separate research studies were done, and while I don’t have proof that they were funded by the government, I’d be willing to bet some government grants were used. In any case, here are the results of these two incredibly informative studies. (Please note that this was sarcasm)

Research Study #1 discovered that helping correct the eyesight of senior citizens does not necessarily prevent them from falling down. Duh! It’s not that they can’t see, you idiots!

Research Study #2 discovered that senior citizens who do things like climbing ladders and cleaning rooftop gutters often fall down, as compared to those senior citizens who sit or lie down all day. Duh!

This makes me so stinking mad. I think I’ll get in on some of this research funding and do some research on senior citizens too. Hmmm…let’s see. I bet I can come up with the test AND the results without ever having to even do the study itself.

Senior citizens more frequently complain about aches and pains than 18-25 year olds. Now…where’s my government funding?
