Leftover thought

The other day, I was shopping for staple foods at the local Food Emporium (there's one right under the Queensboro Bridge, built right into the bridge supports), and in the checkout line, I was glancing at the covers of the various magazines.

And mixed in with the ... I guess one could call them women's magazines, in between the diet and makeup and glamour tips, there was one note that caught my eye.

Get Your Thyroid Into Overdrive!

Now, when I had my little ... episode last year, I joked about the thyroxine weight-loss technique, which was something I wouldn't recommend to anyone with any working brain cells OR a pulse. But to actually advocate it? As a glamour tip?

Power, brother. I see things like this, and I think, "They do not know what they are asking for." I wouldn't do that again; no, not even to be 125 lbs.

No kidding. If I had to choose between four months of treadmill work and two weeks of thyroxine overdose, let me at the treadmill. Every time.

You, my friend, have just summed up what's wrong with American women.
