Thread: Is there a doctor in the house?

I was in town at a large flea-market where I happened to find a nice barber's hone. Nothing special, but one of the nice workhorses. I then went to a second hand store where I, oh joy, managed to find a large, old, but unmarked hone in a wooden box. The seller did not know anything about it and let me have it for cheap. Not having tested it, I still was almost certain it would be a thuringian - in fact, I felt pretty sure. I was so exited about this that I immediately started on my way home, only to bump into an old and dear friend that I had not seen in a very long time. We just had to stop for a coffee and a chat at a nearby café - but my mind was with my hone and we soon were back outside. I was down the block entering the subway station looking forward to testing this new mystery hone, when I realized I did not have it with me! Oh no! I must have forgotten to bring it with me from the cafe! Well, it could not be far - the café was less than a minute's walk so I rushed back there. Miraculously, they had already cleared our table. No hones there.. I asked a waiter if they had seen my package, and her colleague spoke up - she said she had found them. She had took a quick look at them, realized they were special stones, so she took them over to the geographical lab at the university just around the corner. I could not believe this, I asked if the was serious and she said yes. I asked her where I could retrieve them, and she gave me the directions but was not very helpful at all, she just basically told me to turn right and walk to the end of the street, and I'd see their sign. I found her rather cheeky, bordering on plain rude, and was considering telling her so, but I really had no time.. Needless to say, I hurried out and down the street - man, what a long walk. I found the geo institute with no problem, but the lab was nowhere to be found. I finally managed to find the staircase, it was thin and white and spindly and went upwards and upwards, I could not see the end.

Just as I was about to start the staircase I had what might be referred to as a reality warp - I woke up. I was laying in my bed realizing I had just had my first Lost-Hone-Nightmare. So this bears the questions - Surely this can't be good? Does this mean I'm sick? Doomed? Did I manage to attract HAD already? Or worse, does it mean I will in fact loose my first thuringian? Where is the good Dr Spendur, or anyone of knowledge, when they are needed the most? And what horrible service that café had, that immediately took my stones away, are they not supposed to keep them for a few days in case the customer comes back? I need a cup of tea..

Got me there............................................. ...........

Calling Dr. Sigmund F.

I am glad you decided to tell us about this experience. yes this is indeed very serious and Dr Spendur can easily analyze your neurosis.

The salient points would be first, the meeting with your friend which translates to this whole shaving thing becoming very familiar to you like an old friend and the coffee which when cream is added looks just like a Belgian Coticule and the Subway signifying the hole you have dug for yourself by starting wet shaving and the Special Stones, yes these stones have become so important to you you would give your last dollar for them, even sell your soul to you know who and the stair that seems to go on forever tells us you are on a quest that has no end and it will consume your life and your very soul. In the end there was no lab and that shows hows futile your quest actually is.

I'm afraid this is one of the most serious cases I have ever seen. Immediately chain yourself in a chair to prevent yourself from further damage and call 1-800-Ihatestra8s. One of our agents will come over for an intervention. Do not delay.

Dr Spendur.
