The woman was suing her husband for a divorce for mental cruelty. “He’s always lying to me, your honor, he won’t be honest about his health. He tells me a fib when I ask, but I know it’s a fib because I can tell when it’s afib. If he would just admit it was afib, I would know it wasn’t a fib.”
The husband got on the stand and the judge asked,
“Do you tell your wife a fib every time she asks about your health?” “No, your honor, sometimes, though, I don’t tell her afib so she won’t worry.”
“Do you feel it’s alright to tell her a fib when she asks about your health?”
“I try to not to tell her afib, even when I know it is a fib. I know that not telling her afib is telling her a fib.”
“How can not telling her a fib be a fib?” “Well, because it is afib, but I don’t want her to know it’s afib, so I don’t tell her afib, and that is a fib!”
The wife got back on the stand, and the irritated judge asked, “Alright, ma’am, how many times did he tell you a fib over the last month?” “He told afib twice and a fib 6 times. One time, to upset me, he told me it was afib and it wasn’t afib. I knew it was not afib and that he was telling me a fib.”
The confused, irate judge refused to rule and sent them both for psychological testing.
As they walked out, he said softly to the bailiff, “Could you tell what that was all about?” The bailiff replied, “I know all about afib, your honor, I have it myself. If it’s afib my wife always gets upset, so I tell her a fib and say it’s not afib…”
"Never mind!" roared the judge, “I need a drink!”

When I “liked” your post it went to “ unlike” and when pressed again it returned to 6! So really it should be 7 (or more if this has happened to others)!
Like many of my likable friends, I like likes a lot. Liking likes is fun; I really like liking likes!
My granddaughter is 'like': "Liking likes is like liking like types of food or music - likely to be liked by others.
Here is a silly poem I wrote yesterday in between 16 hours of afib and sitting in a chair all night (12:00AM to 7:00 AM) at the ER to get my sinus infection/eye infection seen to:
“Le Chaperon de Fromage”
She was stunning in a formal, green, low-cut gown,
Her flaming-red, Rhonda Fleming hair cascading down.
The reception followed her concert in the recital hall,
Where her Delibes and Puccini did everyone enthrall.
Enraptured by her singing and stunning good looks,
He decided this was a conquest he’d put in his books.
He waited until the adoring crowd had finally thinned,
And confidently chose the opportunity to smoothly move in.
Tall and handsome this lady-killer cad of old,
Could seem to a woman both gallant and bold.
Inexperienced at the tender age of twenty-four,
Her eyes lit up when he smiled, as never before.
Soon she was laughing and giggling at his cleverness,
Blushing from casual touches and his dark eyes’ caress.
Just then a stern woman of some substance and age,
The same aunt who had announced her from the stage,
Brought hors d’oeuvres and champagne, insisting she eat.
On a balcony away from the crowd, he found them a seat.
As she ate he expressed his awe of her musical feat,
And his great good fortune such an artist to meet!
He pulled her closer on the bench where they sat,
To seduce with a gentle kiss, his technique down pat.
As their lips came close, she breathed a passionate sigh,
He recoiled with repugnance, as a strong stench wafted by!
Her breath stunk like something in the toilet should lie!
He stood and excused himself, quickly saying goodby.
Shocked and hurt by his curt dismissal, she started to cry.
Her aunt came again with snacks and drink to appease,
“Don’t worry my dear, not every man you can please.”
“Now enjoy your party with lots of bubbly champagne,
And have more of this simply wonderful stinky cheese!”
It was her valuable tool in helping scoundrels dislodge,
To pay homage, she dubbed it “Le Chaperon de Fromage!”
The same thing happened when I “liked” your post- it went to unlike instead of adding one to the score!
What a record waiting time! Guess they sorted you out successfully in the end. If your heart is structurally sound you might be able to take Flecainide as a PiP to stop episodes of AF as I took it when it was first prescribed and now that I take it regularly it has virtually put an end to episodes for me.
