more-inI keep getting these forwards, by WhatsApp and email, urging me on to some naturopathic treatment. The recommended concoctions vary widely in all respects, but there will always be one common feature: it will need to be taken first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, thereby effectively screwing up the rest of the day. The main boon promised, however, is something that will perk up the various organs, ranging from the brain, and travelling down to… aah, never mind. A joke is a joke, and I can take one, but not when my innards are sought to be tampered with. But these days, it’s anything for a laugh, it seems.… These are indeed hard times.
