WAYS YOU COULD DIE #2

A 40-part series by Dr. Jimmy, Coma Physician, Divorced Father, Sometimes Goth, Weekend Raver

I am constantly asked about death.

Most people who come to visit me in my office are concerned about one thing; are they going to die?

In most cases the answer is yes, they are going to die at some point.

The reality stirs anxiety in my patients and I realized that I could help ease their concerns if I reminded them they are likely to die of heart disease or cancer and not from some terrible, horrific accident.

I’ve created a series of graphic descriptions on the many manners of death a person is not likely to die.

This series has been therapeutic to my patients and I’m hoping it will help you as well.

So please enjoy and remember that although the description below is plausible, you are far more likely to die from some run-of-the-mill disease or auto accident.

ANSWERING A KNIFE PHONE

It is almost a certainty that sometime in the near future, a smart phone with a knife attachment will be invented.

This will represent the culmination of thousands of years of technical evolution and will mark a high-point in human history.

No longer will people have to choose whether to carry a cellular phone OR a knife- with the new knife phone, they will have the luxury of both.

You are a creature of habit and for thousands of years, humans placed the cell phone device near their ear.

Shortly after purchasing your new knife phone, you are sitting at home preparing a delicious sheet of Totino’s Pizza Rolls.  Your mind is singularly focused on the directions located on the back of the bag.

It's really easy to make Totino's Pizza rolls.

It’s really easy to make Totino’s Pizza rolls.

Suddenly, your phone rings.  Without thinking, you grab the phone and draw it toward your ear.

It is only a matter of seconds now until you die so don’t worry.  For a moment, you have clarity and higher level understanding that you just stabbed your brain with your new knife phone.

Mmmm...limited Mexican style pizza.

Mmmm…limited Mexican style pizza.

Your last thoughts are of the delicious pan of pizza rolls that would take a longer period of time to kill you and you wish you’d lived long enough to eat them.

And then you die.

Larping Duel Ends in Sore Back

By Coma News Staff

Dr. Jimmy, Coma physician, cancelled a highly anticipated LARPing duel with Town Councilmember Bob Smith-Smith shortly after it began due to “unfair hitting in the back when [he] wasn’t ready and not following the dang LARPing rules.”

“It was not cool at all because I clearly yelled ‘hold,’ and he hit me in the back when I wasn’t expecting it,” Dr. Jimmy said. “That’s not legal. And then he acted like he did something great.”

According to spectators, the entire duel lasted less than one minute. After Dr. Jimmy made a series of opening moves that some said resembled jumping jacks or modified calisthenics, Smith-Smith tapped his foam-wrapped “sword” onto Dr. Jimmy’s shoulder. The physician quickly called “hold,” which is the larping equivilant of a time out. But Smith-Smith attacked again, landing a blow on Dr. Jimmy’s back.

Dr. Jimmy grimaced as he left the larping circle and claimed he could not continue because his back “stung like a bitch” and he would not continue dueling with someone who so flagrantly violated the rules of LARPing.

The duel challenge, which Dr. Jimmy issued to Smith-Smith at last week’s Town Council meeting, attracted nearly a dozen spectators. Smith-Smith did not comment afterwards but did fist bump several spectators.

Dr. Jimmy would not comment beyond mumbling that Smith-Smith had not heard the last from him.

Physician Challenges Councilmember to LARPing Duel

By Coma News Staff

In what was described as a stunning and unexpected development at last night’s town council meeting, Dr. Jimmy, Coma resident and town physician, challenged Coma Town Councilmember Bob Smith-Smith to a LARPing duel to determine “who’s the baddest motherfucker in town.”

Witnesses said Dr. Jimmy interrupted Smith-Smith while the councilmember was giving an update on recent additions to Denzel Washington’s Wikipedia page and repeatedly challenged the councilmember to engage in live-action roleplaying (LARP) sword fighting.

“He was like a rabid dog or ox,” Councilmember Natalie Peters said, about the general practitioner. “At one point, he started speaking in a sort of Irish-Scottish accent, which certainly made it all seem more dramatic than it probably was.”

In a statement released this morning, Dr. Jimmy stood by his challenge. “I will administer a beating worthy of inclusion in the thick, dusty books of antiquity,” Dr. Jimmy said.  “I will not say any more, however, as I prefer to let my trusty blade do the talking for me.” Dr. Jimmy added that while technically his LARPing sword is not a blade, it is a sturdy piece of PVC piping wrapped in foam and can inflict pain when it hits its mark with enough force.

In his statement, Dr. Jimmy said he has been working on a number of moves and maneuvers he believes will be too much for the novice Smith-Smith to handle.  He added that while he prefers traditional “freeform” LARPing, he is not opposed to a “theatre-style” duel if that is what his nemesis wants. While Dr. Jimmy did not disclose a date for the duel, he said he looked forward “to tasting the blood of Smith-Smith” very soon.

Smith-Smith declined to comment on the challenge.

Opinion: Breakfast Not Most Important Meal of Day

admin-ajax

By Coma Town Physician, Dr. Jimmy

When it comes to your diet, there’s a lot of information out there on what you should or shouldn’t eat and when to eat it.

Part of my job as a physician is to help people cut through all the clutter.  I recently completed a self-funded study on the popular notion regarding breakfast being the most important meal of the day and want to take some time to share with you my findings.

BREAKFAST IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY

As it turns out, breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.  In fact, it may not even be in the top five most important meals of the day.  That being said, based on my research, I can say with certainty that breakfast IS in the top ten of most important meals of the day.

METHODOLOGY & RESULTS

My research was conducted over the course of two weeks in February of this year.  I interviewed nearly seven patients and asked them to rank for me their favorite meals.  Additionally, I thought about what meal I thought was not only my favorite, but which one I would least likely not want to miss.  The results were quite shocking.

TOP TEN MEALS OF THE DAY

Based on my research, the most important meals of the day, in order of importance, are as follows:

1. Dinner

2. Snack between breakfast and lunch

3. Lunch

4. Brunch

5. Dessert

6. Second snack between breakfast and lunch

7. Midnight snack

8. Snack as you are preparing dinner (perhaps sampling the meal you are cooking)

9. Breakfast

10. Samples served at grocery stores or Costco

While these results may surprise some, there is no denying the conclusion or the scientific method that was employed to make this discovery.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

Breakfast is definitely a top ten meal and you should continue to eat it when you feel like it.  But you should no longer feel as though you are a prisoner to an age-old axiom that has clearly been demonstrated as false.

Happy eating and good health to you always.  As I say to all my patients, “You can live forever if you choose.”
