My Shrink says

Lately, my shrink has been giving me advice which, along with the medication, has produced the most curious of consequences.

Last week she recommended incorporating some dance into my daily routine, preferably in the mornings. Dancing, it may be remembered, is a healthy form of exercise and a recent study published in the Journal of This-n-That has shown that it effectively reduces the chances of colon cancer by 25%.

So now every morning after a quick shower, I proceed to do the twist with my towel in the shower cubicle. This dance routine is generally accompanied by a deep baritone singing such classics as "Bhen Chodd Sutta na mila" or that evergreen melody "just chill chill". This has substantially decreased my drying time (the 'twist' is done with towel on body) allowing me to make one final dash to the mess for a delicious breakfast.

Sitting on the edge of a nervous breakdown is sort of like sitting on a rickety, old bench at the very edge of a cliff. You never quite know when your going to fall off or worse, the coffee machine is going to stop working.
