The numbers posted in that article mean absolutely zilch... more of the older mice died than the younger mice.. wow.. what a finding. The number they should have put in the article is the difference in the rate of death of the older mice that were timeshifted vs. the older mice control group. Obviously the reporter doesn't understand what he was reporting on/statistics or he threw out the wrong numbers to make it newsworthy....can you say truthiness? I thought you could!

Nobody is getting out of this life alive and everyone has to die of something. Personally I'd rather enjoy my life while flying around the world, seeing places and meeting people that I'd otherwise never have had the chance to experience. Have you every had a massage in Bangkok, Manila, Hong Kong, or Shanghi? Spent any time on Manley or Bondi beaches in Sydney? Ever taken the tram to the top of the mountain in Vancouver? IMHO, any of these beats the crap out of a layover in Lubbock, St. Louis, Fresno, Baltimore, etc, etc. Besides, the last around-the-world trip I did had 8 legs in 14 days. Stress, you betcha.. Throw me in that briar patch. The other day I did a one-legger from IAD to MEM, except we were held for two hours at IAD before they gave us a new flight plan to first go to DSM and then into MEM. Believe me, this domestic stuff is not all that great either. And we've not even hit winter yet.

You can't get a massage and a "happy ending" in Lubbock.

Platinum Plus MEM... best in the USA.

My goodness, you have the wrong impression of me! We did not have a foursome; we were looking for a massage salon and the tuk tuk driver decided for us the exact place to have such a massage. Alas, there was no happy ending for anyone.
The pasty looking white guy is my husband. Been hanging around him for 20 years. No choice really. ;) It might have been a different story if I had my Captain Alaska with me. :) |

Reference massage verses the other thing...
A few years back I was in Singapore on a DACT deployment. I found a great beauty shop that did the massage, haircut, backrub, etc etc. Several squadron mates inquired about "happy endings...", but to my knowledge that wasn't on the menu there. I pointed out that I had a beautiful, loving wife at home and enjoyed a happy, healthy sex life. However--after 10 years of marriage, there was no way in hell I could talk my spouse into giving me a backrub for over an hour! So...I was going to enjoy what was being offered. I don't think I could have enjoyed anything else any more than those haircuts and massages.... |
