George,

 GP> I cut them out long ago! I only dranbk then wheb I was doing 12-hour
 GP> shift  work, as one rapidly drunk Coke did more to wake me up than the
 GP> speed with  which I could ingest caffeine via coffee.

  Since I cut out the soda and the caffeine, I haven't had kidney stones,
and my heart rate has stabilized. Those "energy drinks" are worse than
caffeine.

 GP> "Feces occurs" is a maxim in every field.

  I said that to a co-worker one day years ago...and she looked at me with
the deer in the headlights look. When I translated it, she roared with
laughter, and said "I'm going to tell my sister!!". The next morning, she
came in, and I asked her if she had told her sister. Grinning wildly, she
said "yes", and when I asked "same reaction?", she said "yes". 

  She lost her first husband to colon cancer, but remarried too soon after
that...I don't the marriage lasted 2 months. I don't know whatever happened
to her, as she resigned from there long before I did.

 GP> I've found a housecall doctor or two in every city with an
 GP> intewrnational  airport in the USA. I believe LR has such?

  Not that I know. I did have a nurse from my HMO come by for a physical
exam and interview this past September.

 GP> The 3 Bs of Feminine Beauty: Boobs, Belly, & Butt (or is that 4?)

  Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone. 

 GP> not a drill is bad, to, when you asked for a fleeping HAMMER!

  Really.

 GP> I do try to avoid that one.  I've slowly built up new muscles tyo
 GP> control my  uyrethras farther up (as I often get a sharp jagged stone
 GP> shard lodged at the  main point of squeezing off the flow, & when I
 GP> squeeze, AIIIII,. pain like  nothing else! & the urethra automatically
 GP> spasms wide open!  So I've had to  find & exercise muscles further up
 GP> the pipe, to control flow in such a  situation.

  Incontinence on both sides is a bear. Ever since I quit drinking soda
or carbonated beverages, I haven't had a single stone.

 GP> It might well be a COMMON response,but you're never allowed to be awake
 GP> during surgeries to witness it!

  Or the guy who wakes up in the morgue, and wonders "If I'm alive, what am
I doing here?? And, if I'm dead, how come I have to go to the bathroom??".

 GP> Police are looking for a man selling marijuana to birds. Eyewitnesses
 GP> report he left no tern unstoned.

  Nice spoonerism pun.

 GP> Nothing spoils a good story
 GP> like the arrival of an eyewitness.

  Eyewitnesses were on the scene in minutes.

 GP> Neighbours testified they heard 3 gunshots Well, yeah, one for the
 GP> murder, & 2 more to clear out the obvious eyewitnesses.

  That's about it.

... Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance??
