My little brother's quirks explained

So I was perusing the web and came across the following article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13555604/

This led to me to some serious thinking about my little brother and his "quirks." Bug has always been the "diffrent" brother, from the days of his enfascination with pogs and x-men, right up until his enfatuation with The String Cheese Incident. Now don't get me wrong, these quirks have never before made me question his orientation...BUT we all know that science is God and not vice-versa and that scientists, being founded in science of course, are never wrong and consequently Gods in their own right. So therefore my brother's "quirks" will now be exploited as homsexual undertones by his four older brothers in all future familial discussions; my poor brother... exploited completely by the same biological forces that caused his homosexuality. Now that's a real Catch 22.

So how often do you use.....crack?

This is a question I have found myself asking real people ever since my initiation into the clinic system. I never thought that at some point in my life I'd be sitting in a chair asking people how often they smoked crack and then listening to them say, with a straight face, "oh not that often- just twice a week." What makes it worse is that I've seen way to many Chapelle show episodes at this point in my life to hear something like that and not want to start laughing inappropriately....so I take it in stride and respond as straight faced and serious as possible: "Oh only twice a week? We can deal with that, it just may interfere with the pain medication should we decide to use it today." All in a days work...
