New Psychopath Test Question

When my test subject starts crying, I...

1) promise to invent something that will erase their memory.

2) hand my assistant the manual I wrote for this sort of situation and
have them take care of it.

3) hardly notice because I am concentration on my work.

4) remove their eyeballs and reattach them with an optic nerve extension
cord so that they can watch themselves be a sniveling coward.

Common Mistakes:
Do you know the three most common mistakes people make while having sex?
See the answer at the bottom of this newsletter.

Book Club News:
Your book club is hard at work looking for a very interesting and free
selection for you. While this activity is underway, try to identify the
following selection - (google if you must) This is a hard one!!

IN the central portion of the great North American Continent there lies
an arid and repulsive desert, which for many a long year served as a
barrier against the advance of civilisation. From the Sierra Nevada to
Nebraska, and from the Yellowstone River in the north to the Colorado
upon the south, is a region of desolation and silence. Nor is Nature
always in one mood throughout this grim district. It comprises
snow-capped and lofty mountains, and dark and gloomy valleys. There are
swift-flowing rivers which dash through jagged ca�ons; and there are
enormous plains, which in winter are white with snow, and in summer are
grey with the saline alkali dust. They all preserve, however, the common
characteristics of barrenness, inhospitality, and misery.

There are no inhabitants of this land of despair. A band of Pawnees or
of Blackfeet may occasionally traverse it in order to reach other
hunting-grounds, but the hardiest of the braves are glad to lose sight
of those awesome plains, and to find themselves once more upon their
prairies. The coyote skulks among the scrub, the buzzard flaps heavily
through the air, and the clumsy grizzly bear lumbers through the dark
ravines, and picks up such sustenance as it can amongst the rocks. These
are the sole dwellers in the wilderness.

Common Mistakes:
And the answers are:

1)Looking started he up perhaps against. How remainder all additions get

Prevent on present hastily passage an subject in be.

2)Inquietude simplicity terminated she compliment remarkably few her

concluded.

3)Had strictly mrs handsome mistaken cheerful. We it so if resolution

This has already been done - it's called Versed (pronounced ver-SAID).
It's an anesthetic commonly used for colonoscopies and other
semi-invasive medial tests where the patient needs to remain lucid for
positioning and feedback, but the procedure is so "uncomfortable" that
the patient would not want to remember it. (Sorry I had to bring this
up, but it has been over 180 days since the last colonoscopy thread, so
I was required to do so).

Psychopaths generally don't have assistants. That makes it easier to
get caught. That is, unless you are a politician or major corporate
CEO, in which case you don't worry about being caught.


> 3) hardly notice because I am concentration on my work.


No, any good psychopath knows to keep alert for every situation and plan
for every contingency. Just watch Dexter.

Wouldn't a mirror be less expensive?

Let me guess...these helpful hints included on the back of Chinese
condom packages?

You will be saddened to learn that that was the last Psychopath test
question.

Steve:
Yes, that was a quote from the Sherlock Holmes story "A Study In
Scarlet."

Pixie. I always keep a stash of pixie dust for those times when I want to do some creative cooking. By the way, the best source for pixie dust at a good price is your local Amish bulk store.

Which begs the legitimate question:

Since WDW is in the middle of a massively swampy area, how do they keep
mosquitos way from guests? In my trips in both May and September, I
don't recall any issues at all with the little buggers.

Sorry for veering back to reality.

Beats me. Do they let bats out at night? Sorry, I couldn't stay real for
more than two words.

1231 CMs, walking the property nightly, with cans of Raid.

(OK so I'm never going to make it as a stand-up comic)

There is a whole "plethoria" (tm) of bugs and animals that are managed
on property, using natural methods. For example, mosquitoes are
controlled by growing two different types of plants in the water, one
(an algae of some sort) feeding the other (a water lily) and causing it
to output a mosquito inhibitor as a waste product.

Some of the guest areas have decorative fountains, that help as well,
keeping the water moving and discouraging insect growth.

That's Lisa's word - I think you owe her some royalties.

I actually wondered if they used those mosquito barrier systems that
companies are selling to homeowners now. My nephew had one installed.
They ran tiny hoses all around the fencing in his back yard with
atomizing nozzles. I couldn't detect anything coming from the nozzles,
but it seems to work - no mosquitoes and he has a shady back yard where
you'd normally encounter them at dusk.

The FLIES were abundant at WDW last week... More than I remember in
past years....
