Quote of the day

From a retired internist:

“I just want to make sure I’m not going to shit, you know. I mean, my wife is fucked-up with all kinds of shit, and some of my friends are pretty fucked-up, too, and I'm sure all my old patients are either fucked-up or dead by now, and I’ll be a son of bitch if I’m going to get fucked up more than is normal for being fucked-up at my age so I just want you to check out all my neuro shit and that kind of stuff and make sure I’m not too fucked-up for 87."

I always thought the technical term for shit talk was “stercolalia” until a classicist who had retrained in medicine told me that was a neologism mixing Latin (Stercor = shit) and Greek (Lalia = speech) roots.

You know, I can't actually find anything wrong with his logic.

He's retired, there's no need to use fancy multisyllabic words with Greek or Latin roots and a ton of prefixes and suffixes anymore when common 4-letter words will do the trick. I respect and applaud his commitment to retirement.

Pretty self-aware, if you ask me.

Hey, when I'm 87, I want to be just the normal amount of fucked up, not excessively so. But even if I am excessively fucked up at 87, will I really know?

Yer average. Now STFU.
