Mona Lisa's Smile, A Real Big Mac Attack & Fun With Gastroenterology
Colon cancer is a very slow growing cancer, and if detected early, is almost always curable. So, this little inconvenience is a small price to pay for the peace of mind in knowing you're "clean".
I was also very lucky in picking the Great Dr. Trible, who I think is one of the best gastro guys in the area. I highly recommend him.
How do you know if you have a bad gastroenterologist? Well, if you lying face down on the table in that gown that's open in the back, and the doctor is getting ready to "go in"........if he puts on soft music and pops open a bottle of wine, I'd get out of there.
On More's Mystery tomorrow, we'll be looking for an entertainer. That's the category the listeners will hear, but since you're reading this blog, YOU will have a little more specific information. Specifically, we'll be looking for a comedian.
Speaking of doctors, here's one with way too much time of his hands: Dr. Vito Franco of Palermo University has spent years studying the Mona Lisa. The good doctor claims he has determined that Mona Lisa had high cholesterol. He says the portrait shows clear signs of a build-up of fatty acids under the skin, and a lipoma, which is benign fatty-tissue in her right eye.
This is all very interesting, but more importantly, I think it might help answer the age-old question: "What was Mona Lisa smiling about?" Perhaps she was smiling because she just got done eating a bag of pork rinds. Food for thought.
..........and in keeping with our health & food theme, you might have heard about the woman in Kansas City, Missouri who went berserk at a McDonalds because they served her what she claims, was an "inferior burger". She demanded a refund. The clerk refused to give her a refund, but did offer her another burger. At that point, apparently a screw came loose and the woman went wild. In front of customers, including children, she started throwing everything that wasn't nailed down. She threw a full bucket of water, a basket of straws, some cookies, a sign, one of those yellow Plastic "Wet Floor" signs, and all three of the cash registers went flying. If you didn't know any better, you'd think you were watching Bobby Knight in action.
Here's the really good news: all of this was caught on surveillance video. To check it out, go to http://www.kctv5.com/.
Police were called, but by the time they arrived, the woman was gone. The police would've arrived faster, but they heard the burgers weren't that good there.
