So a division of the British National Health is recommending to Britain's youth that an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away. Well sure - how many doctors want to treat blind, hairy-handed youngsters? Dare we ask what do the homework assignments look like? I foresee a boon to school attendance.
Bull shit

Dad: Son, don't do that or you'll go blind.
Son: Daddy, I am over here.

TM, between your recent porn post and this "public health annoucement," I think that you have retained Mary Carey as your blog consultant. :-)))
By the way, in my last semester in college, I took a course on Aristotle, Aquinas and sexual pleasure. Let me hasten to add that there was no lab component to the course. :-))

Rick, you have just RUINED my plans tonight to catch up on recent IRS private letter rulings in the tax-exempt bond area. How am I supposed to concentrate when the following song is going through my head:
Ari and Aqui sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love,
Then comes marriage,
Then comes Ari in the baby carriage,
With Aqui pushing it.
:-))

Will that be part of the new health care plan?
Posted by: Original MikeS | July 13, 2009 at 06:58 PM
Will we be taxed since it is a health benefit?

Does hair grow on the palms or knuckles? That question has always given me pause.

Tommy's laminating his Sarah Palin photo collection, upon doctor's orders.

Does this mean they can stop chopping up the hot dogs at girls' schools?
Aloha.

Is there a time limit before I can nominate that for comment of the week?
Posted by: Extraneus | July 13, 2009 at 07:50 PM
I get your new posting strategy, TM. You are trying to bring out lurkers who may have different primary interests than those addressed in the usual TM posts. OK, fair enough. See LUN for another possible topic.
Those who manipulate the pieces in the LUN are just are serious about their craft as any other type of manipulation afficionado!

Will this be retrospective? Will we be able to get a teenage nymphomaniac on the NHS,perhaps tests before doctors will prescribe?
Posted by: PeterUK | July 13, 2009 at 07:54 PM
Or is this a ploy to cut pensions?
Posted by: PeterUK | July 13, 2009 at 07:55 PM
Good one, TC. I have Laszlo Polgar's "5334 Problems, Combinations and Games," which he says in the introduction were drawn from his over 5000 chess books, and his collection of articles and periodicals going back over 150 years. (Not that I can solve any of them.)
As a parent, it's well to note that the guy groomed not one but two female chess masters. (Chess mistresses?)
Posted by: Extraneus | July 13, 2009 at 08:07 PM
White moves P-K4, Extraneus (the British notation system was used when I was playing).
As it has been almost 40 years since I've played competitive chess (I retired as a high school sophomore after thumping a Brown student in an all-star game), please forgive me if I take a week or two for my second move if you respond as Black! :-))
Of course, consistent with the blog karma of everyone jumping in with comments on a thread, and then continuing the comments from time to time on other threads, I suppose anyone can jump in as White or Black (and then switch colors as the game goes on)!

That's what I've been saying....

OMG, WTF (as TM might title a post)! Joycekane is not automatic spam (or if joycekane is automatic spam, it's a pretty sophisticated program).
Never did I think that posting on chess would generate a joycekane post.

How many doctors do you have? I foresee a definite time loss factor for those seeing a number of specialists...
Posted by: Rick Ballard | July 13, 2009 at 09:35 PM
LOL RICK

Did anyone else see the PEW study where they were measuring the general public's attitude versus "scientists"? At the very bottom and almost unremarked, they note that the "scientists" came out 55% Democrats to 6% Republicans. SERIOUSLY!!!
Do you think they crossed scientist with Journalist? That 10 to 1 looks like national network newsroom lopsidedness.
Posted by: Gmax | July 13, 2009 at 10:01 PM
"Only one?"
Orgasm, or doctor?
Posted by: PD | July 13, 2009 at 10:13 PM
In keeping with the new plan that will kill innovations in health care, doctors have planned to reintroduce older remedies...
manipulation for women's hysteria has NOW quite perplexed though... condemn it or remarket the "Vagina Monologues" as health care and invite more audience participation.

The comments where I read that were predictable and stupid. The JOM orgasm remarks, however, are much more stimulating.

I'd like to stay up and chat but I've got a homework lesson to complete.

Somewhat fitting this thread, and being in San Francisco this week for a conference, the question arose "when is a transvestite cop undercover"?

Under the new health plan, you are going to have to prove your adherence to the preventive health plan.
