No, I honestly don't

"Doc, because, sometimes I get headaches, and I also have trouble remembering things, and it's like when your foot hurts, or you've just slept with a bunch of girls and don't want to get tested, or you just got a new car and repaired the roof. Do you know what I mean?"

It's like that one time when I lost my glasses and needed glasses to find my glasses so went to look for my spare glasses, or when you get a nose bleed but the hash browns are burning, or that evil cow is stalking you from up the hill and you get pulled over for speeding, but I don't think I can recall the results of what shampoo do you use? I have to go eat eggs now.; July 12, 2012 at 11:54 AM

Mal said...: Strange... I understood that perfectly.

Translation: He strongly suspects that there is something wrong, but is in denial/buring his head in the sand.
As in (per his examples) 'I don't have an STD because I haven't been tested to confirm it' or 'I have not maxed out my credit cards and overdraft'.
It's the whole 'ignorance is bliss' idea.

Personaly, I freak out until I can confirm the actual extent of the problem. Reality is seldom as bad as my worst-case-scenario imagination.; July 13, 2012 at 3:15 AM
