Even though America is a happy place, there are still some unhappy people here. They are unhappy that the president stole an election and that the government is spying on their phone. That’s how happy America is: In other countries, people have real things to be unhappy about, but in America you have to make things up to be unhappy about.
The inimitable Frank J., in “A Happy Editorial About America”

The nerve conduction test… let’s just say I hope I don’t have to go through that again any time soon.
Here’s how the test goes: electrical sensors, similar to those used in electrocardiograms, are affixed to various locations on the body (the legs in my case); machine-generated electrical impulses are then sent down the nerve pathways.
In short: they tazered me. Repeatedly. For half an hour. I think they enjoyed it.
Damn you, Luigi Galvani. Damn you.
No concrete results yet, of course (Same day? Are you kidding?) but mutterings of peripheral neuropathy could be heard from down the halls.
Damn.
