Speaking with best friend about dentist visit last night (well, neither of us are getting laid this week, what’s left to discuss?): 
Her: I’m glad you are getting those old fillings out, then you won’t have any mercury in your mouth anymore.
Hahnathome: Whatever.Her: What do you mean? You should rejoice and celebrate not having a toxin like mercury in your mouth.
Hahnathome: I’ve had them 25 years, never bothered me. But, I shall rejoice and celebrate, just for you. I know—I’ll throw a big party once my mouth is mercury-free.
Her: I love a party, what will you bring?
Hahnathome: Well, it’s a big occasion, so I’m thinking a lot of canned tuna.Interestingly, I’m now sure I have Mercury poisoning—all this time I’ve been just been attributing these symptoms to getting older, menopause, allergies, being romantically ga-ga, my boss, and being the parent of three teens—silly me:

| The primary symptoms of mercury-poisoning are vague psychic ones. Short-term memory deteriorates. You will find it difficult to concentrate on tasks which require attention and thinking. You lose your temper easily and switch between different moods for no particular reason. Little by little, a more physical kind of exhaustion is added to the condition. More and more effort is required to initiate activities and complete them due to inability to co-ordinate your movements with your visual impressions (ataxia). Occasional headaches, minor involuntary muscle spasms or tics within groups of muscles can also appear. Hands and feet become easily cold, attacks of dizziness or vertigo can occur, and periodically you may find it difficult to focus your eyes and to see clearly. Joint and muscle pains, stiffness, lumbago and similar symptoms often appear at an early stage. |
Be sure to check my "Stuff I Like" page from time to time, I'm posting some good video from You Tube. Today, for example, I'm showing the classic Harry Shearer/Martin Short "Men's Synchronized Swimming" bit from SNL, directed by Christopher Guest.
