DISCOVERIES

I have made three discoveries that could alter your eating, footwear and medical attitudes. I shall now share them with you.
1. If you peel a banana from the bottom, that is the opposite end from the stem, then those pesky strands from the inside of the peel will no longer appear.
2. Wearing Wigwam socks is like encasing your feet in the most luxurious cashmere. They are made of merino wool and besides being incredibly comfortable they are virtually indestructable. They claim you can run a marathon in Wigwam socks, without shoes.
3. A pharmacist friend let something slip that I did not believe. He said that he quite frequently filled prescriptions for Obecalp which is placebo spelled backwards. A placebo, of course, is non-medicinal but the patient believes otherwise. This seemed impossible since it could seemingly leave the doctor and the pharmacy open to lawsuits. If my Internet research is to be believed, The single most prescribed "remedy" in both Israel and Norway is Obecalp. A Los Angeles emergency room was also cited for stockng and giving out a variety of different size and color Obecalp pills. When I asked my friend how he determined what to charge for the sugar pills, he said, "The more I charge, the better the Obecalp works".

If you have discovered any such nuggets, please share them with us.
