In our discussion re: obesity in class today, we were discussing both viable, non viable and "under the table" ways of treating this epidemic. The doctor mentioned that nothing works better than amphetamines (ie. meth) - he commented, "unfortunately they have some side effects. You take an amphetamine to lose some weight and next thing you know, you are running down the street in a wife beater, carrying a stolen television while your apprehension is being taped for the next season of COPS." And this was the best sarcasm i have heard in a long time....he continued, "ah yes, COPS. Now that is a good show. Watching COPS is like keeping your finger on the pulse of America".

Wow, I'm impressed with your lecture retention! I was particularly impressed with his usage of 'wife-beater' in a clinical context. Definitely a first.
Apparently I retain all the "best" things out of lecture and never any of the essential things! I don't know how to change that however - "wife beaters" should really be used more widely.
