On quack medicine

On quack medicine

If homeopathy was real, and not just made-up tree-hugging woo, then every glass of water you drink contains the "memory" of the poop that your local water company filtered out of it.

Including that of several people who might have had the runs.

Homeopath, hey? I've been called many -paths before (sociopath, psychopath, nymphopath), but that's a new one. Suffering from houses? Or are those thespians about again?

Aunty Brenda: A nymphopath?

p.s. The twaddle that gets me is advertisers talking about "toxins". They are always selling crap to help twits "detox". What the hell are they talking about?

After I gave out my email address yesterday, for anybody due for their depot injection - er, I mean, interested, to contact me if they wished - I got a request for a "Chat" within 2:39 hours (keyboard doesn't do fractions) from a certain person.

I wonder if the regulars can guess who it was (struggling to avoid middle-aged kidult innuendo about "coming first")?

I am now composing a reply, wondering what I've let myself in for (maybe I should have joined the Masons instead).

I love reading the daft adverts that tell you it's possible to lose 40lbs in weight in 3 weeks showing pictures of someone supposedly before and after demonstrating a great result - and not the big hanging folds of loose skin someone would have if they DID lose weight that fast.

SqueakyP - guess the numpties selling various types of crap to "detox" havnt caught on that having a shite IS detoxing.

"Memories are made of this": maybe also from certain other bodily secretions, from both sexes, flushed into the water we "borrow" from the Welsh,remember, in most of the western parts of England (I wonder if any of those Cambrian commenters still read Scaryduck).

@Donna - youwho again (so I didn't scare you off, then?).

@Invader_Stu - Er is inderdaad een aardige gedachte.
