Doc,

Insurance?

Have you forsaken courage for safety?? After all isn’t that what most people want…..safety, not freedom?
You can only choose one.

Many apes are descendants of insurance salesmen. How are we supposed to tell them?

But fear always sells……..

Ruth, Thanks for your warnings.

As Kipling put it in the poem Britain voted as its all time favourite:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Will this happen to me?

Probably, so I’ll make sure I’m Fully Insured.

Doc,

Having studied some Provocative Therapy myself, let me remind you that it is perhaps too powerful…like the blade of a scalpel, it can be misused.
Maybe you should not reveal its brilliant ability to instantly disrupt dysfunctional behavior.
Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood.
That is what happened to those of Jesus.
Please think carefully about revealing this magic to the masses.
Don’t say I did not warn you ;^)

Sincerely,
Ruth.

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for keeping me on my toes as a Provocative Therapist! It’s so easy to sliip into populist cliches these days and turn into an android. The phallosophy of Big Pharma clearly was at its most compassionate when it came up with Viagra. Anyone who thinks of saying that is sexist should first have a conversation with a Viagra wife.

Doc,
Well said! The last thing we Americans need, however, is a bailout of the sperm banks due to a complete erectile shutdown. Moral hazard has its limits.
We have an epidemic of sleeping sickness, caused by lack of sleep…ergo, lots of commercials for sleeping pills.
River blindness is not as bad as being blindly led into 2 wars and a near-meltdown of global finance due to blind bankers.
Malaria is still bad, but definitely a form of birth control. We do not have a malaria problem…yet, but one hell of a lot of disaffected lovers. To whom would this lady advertise…especially when you consider that the main demographic who even watches the evening propaganda has severe ED? In fact, it is purported that the evening propaganda can INDUCE ED!! I would call the advertising nothing short of brilliant. Every country must take care of its own problems first. The Malarians should get some cheap antimalarials, but first disgorge the Mal-arian dictators of all the corrupt money they take from oil and other resource companies.

As you Provocative Therapists would say:”What is wrong with sacrificing health for money and hedonism? You only live once. Why not take a pill and get laid?”

I wish you 100,000 more erections Doc. Use each one as if it were your last…you never know what awaits…never!

Ruth.
