Q-Tip thermometer

by laugh


READ THIS TO HELP YOU MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY
Subject: Q-Tip

Last week I went to a seminar called *Stress and Disease by Dr. Nickolas
Hall,
an expert in psychobiology. He gave an example of a coping skill for
job stress which I would like to share with you.
When you have had one of those TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT days, try this.
On your way home after work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the section
where they have thermometers. You will need to purchase a rectal
thermometer made by *Q-Tip. Be very sure that you get this brand.
When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone
so you will not be disturbed during your therapy. Change to very comfortable
clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down on your bed. Open the package
containing the thermometer, and remove the thermometer and carefully place it
on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken. Take the
written material that
accompanies the thermometer and as you read it you will notice in small
print the
statement that "every rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested."
Now close your eyes and say out loud five times, "I am SO glad that I do not
work in quality control at the Q-Tip Company."

I am so glad, I am so glad, I am so glad.......

Hey, how much do they get paid? If it's more than I'm making, at least I'll make better money for getting something stuck there every day. I've worn that pack of KYjelly on my shoulder too many days.
