I KNOW!!! And they must be in the form of a question. Please tell my wife. She cheats.
Mrs. C, (that could be dicey) it has come to my attention that you have no regard for the rules of Jeopardy as played by viewers. All answers must be spoken in the form of a question. Any further infractions will result in your husband receiving a new or used bass (at his expense). Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
 
I recently learned that Russian steel is of very high quality. I've got a piece of it in my neck that's been there for a long time and apparently it was in too tricky a place to remove when it was deposited there. I was told no problem, it's a small sliver and it will most likely dissolve in time. Fast forward to my last routine checkup and after the usual X ray of my neck, i was informed that the piece had shifted and was in danger of bearing on my carotid artery and had to be removed, which can be done with a simple outpatient procedure, which is scheduled for next week.
So in addition to learning about the quality of Russian steel, i also learned about the tremendious advances made in surgical equipment, techniques, and procedures.
A twofer of worthless info.
I had to reschedule due to ice but i finally got cut on. It took longer to fill out the paperwork than it did to get this done. The guy wanted to give me a local but i told him by the time he did a bunch of injections and waited, he could be that much further along. He refused to back down so i wound up getting the stupid injections. Either way, it was quick. The only strange part was the smell of bruning meat as he cauterized the wound. Here it is today during the dressing change.
