Transcript of the trial of Dr. Forgetful:

Prosecution:  “Doctor, you performed surgery on Mrs. Benzeknees on December 29, 2011 did you not?”

Dr. Forgetful:  “Correct.”

Prosecution:  “And what was the surgery  for doctor?”

Dr. Forgetful:  “Mrs. Benzeknees wanted to lose weight & I’m successful in suppressing the the brain’s hunger centres.”

Prosecution:  “Doctor, would it surprise you to learn the surgery was not successful?”

Dr. Forgetful:  “But I turned it off . . .”

Prosecution:  “Are you sure?   Mrs. Benzeknees did not lose any weight, but she quit smoking the same day & has now been smoke free for almost 90 days.”

Dr. Forgetful:  “Oh my, what have I done?”

I also somehow wanted to work into the story an update on my Quit Smoking goal & I’m happy to report I am almost 90 days smoke free!  It was not easy but also not nearly as hard as I had anticipated.  I remember telling my physician if he wanted me to quit smoking he needed to block off about a week in his calendar so he could monitor me while I was in a coma in order to get me to quit!  The cravings still surprise me with their strength from time to time but I am keeping my fingers crossed I am finally a non-smoker.
