My Humours are out of balance.

I might be melancholic. I might have too much black bile. maybe yellow. I don't know. What gives?

[Tom Kitten]

1. I don't know

Maybe you're phlegmatic?

[izzybeans]

2. It is cold and moist but I'm no coward.

3. Maybe you should try the healing power of crystals, or acupuncture

Failing that, avoid all contact with anything that may upset your liver, such as strong drink, Catholics, or gypsies.

5. My Anthroposophist suggested bloodletting.

I'm getting a bit shy about it.

[Nevernose]

8. Bloodletting is a ridiculous and barbaric practice

It makes much more sense to blame gypsies and/or Catholics for all of your personal moods (I know that I sure do!), poke yourself with tiny little needles in strange places, or let shiny little rocks cure your diseases.

Bloodletting is just superstitious nonsense. :)

10. Now I'm being told to balance out my gypsy companion with

a Catholic and all will come back to stasis. I just need to find a Catholic.

6. I think I've got dropsy.

I'm feeling puffy.

9. If the poppies are prickly just don't eat them.

It says it right here on the bottle.

11. Well then it's time for the leeches.

It's a bitch trying to find decent leeches in Michigan in april.

[izzybeans]

13. Try New Jersey. Newark Bay leeches have mustaches and the face of

Montgomery Burns, at least in April anyway.

12. Okay. I'm back in balance. Thanks. That was getting weird.

The world is suddenly right again. But of course I must be forgetting about a few things.

14. Maybe some scolding would help? n/t

15. Now i'm out of balance again but suddenly can see things

once hidden.
