(Ex)change your Mind.

Hi All. Once again, if you do not feel up to listening to something that you find silly, irrelevant or downright stupid then don't read on............ If, however, you feel that it might be helpful later then put it in your drawer marked 'See Later'. Now how would you feel if you were able to go in to a shop and do a part exchange on your MIND. Not your brain which is only an organ like any other and has a specific job to do, but your MIND. You say to the assistant in the shop, "I would like to do a part exchange job on my mind. I am fed up with this one which is well beyond it's sell by date and is causing me no end of problems. Have you anything new that would suit me?".

"Well, Sir/Madam what sort of mind do you want? A navvies mind, a surgeons mind or that of a burglar or an arsonist or whatever; a mind with no emotion; You must be specific?". "Well, I had not really thought about that, but I just want a mind that gives me peace". "Sorry Sir/Madam we have none of those, you only find those in heaven so we do not stock them and in any case, they are difficult to come by. But I tell you what, if you leave your mind here for half an hour or so I will give it a level one diagnostic. (I learned that one from Star Trek!! Bit like Data.). Half an hour later. You. "Any joy?". "Well, Sir/Madam, we have done a diagnostic on your mind and, frankly, we can find very little wrong with it. Bit over strained but that is to be expected by the way you are using it. A new mind will not help you as the one you have is 'fit for purpose' and still has around a 60 year guarantee left on it. You must take it home, give it a good clean up and stop abusing it as you do. There are no 'good' minds or 'bad' minds only minds that have been subjected to strain but which YOU are quite capable of renewing". "Well, I must confess to being a little disappointed but I will do as you say".

Sorry, run out of stock. jonathan.
