Okay, so our safety committee (which I am no longer part of, thank God) has decided to have a health fair thingie today.  It includes a chiropractor (which I don't recognize as a valid thing, but many people do, and if it makes them feel better, then what the hell, right?), a massage guy (valid), a nuitritionist (very valid), a smoking cessation dude (excellent)...

And

AND

AND

...An acupuncturist.

Because apparently God or natural selection or whatever forgot to put needles into us at various places where they are required.  Now, normally, I file this under "chiropractor" (if it works, who cares if it's real?), but this one is over there babbling about chakras.  To blue collar types.

I am restraining myself, but it's only a matter of time before I snap and head over there for a consultation.

It will not be the most prudent thing I've done this month. 

It will, however, amuse me to no fucking end.

Hasn't.  They're not done setting up yet.

I'm not getting stuck anyway.  I'm going to ask the nice lady some questions.   :)

While I'm skeptical, I actually place the Truth Value of acupuncture over 50%.   That is, I have found slightly more evidence supporting some sort of beneficial effect from acupuncture than against.  At least enough to throw the issue into doubt.



Although the chakra thing is grounds for immediate disqualification.

You're just upset that it's because these people don't recognise that your back hair has its own chakra. Admit it. It tangles your extremely hirsute chi.

Your boss is an unbelievable asshole who wants you to die in unimaginable ways. Evil bastard. He wants to keep all the Health and Safety and Chi and Back Twisty Cracking to himself.

He'll probably ram each of them into one of his chakras, if only to pretend for a short time that he has Wrong Values.

No! You have to go! The tangling of chi and meridians and the unbelievable tension in your pressure points is creating a block in your lymph nodes. ACUPUNCTURE AND CHIROPRACTY CAN CURE CANCER! HE IS DENING YOU LIFE-SAVING MEDICINE.

That sadist bastard.  :cry:
