I believe the usual procedure, at least this is what the fellow in Harney
County told me, is to have your goolies stepped on several times by an
ill-tempered and quite heavy beast. After that all pain is relative, and
the future looks rosy. Something to do with burst blood vessels, I think.
Odd coincidence BTW. I write a Sunday Poem that mentions Alexander
McCall-Smith's work, and here the fellow is on our radio this eve for the
first time ever. 'strawdinry.
