The Post-It
I can't open it? It's like Pandora's Box. They send it to me, and I can't opene it. The juicy secrets contained within are not meant for me. But is my heart stout enough to withstand the temptation? Can I be trusted with such a thing? Will I be able to live with myself if I choose to open it? What if I don't? The temptation is strong, and for many years have I desired merely to gaze upon this sacred yellow message from Oklahoma. Now I have it. Do I dare disobey them? Will God smite me if I do? Is it worth the risk? Nay. I shan't. It was not meant for me. I shall go on with my life and pretend it never happened. But there will still be that tingle, that what if in the back of my mind.
So, anyway, it's a checklist of needs. That is to say, I should check off everything I need. So, what do I need?
- A closer walk with God - Don't need that.
- Alzheimer's - Don't need that.
- Arthritis - Don't need that.
- Bad Health - Already have that.
- Better Appetite - Got that.
- Back Pain - Got that, too.
- Cancer - Don't need that.
- Crying Spells - I don't need it, but I'm intrigued. We'll put that as a maybe.
- Deafness - Don't need that.
- Drug Problems - Don't need that.
- Eyes - I definitely need eyes, but I'm content with the ones I have.
- Foot Problems - Don't need that.
- Gall Bladder - I think I need it, but I'm not sure what it does.
- Sinus Problems - Don't need that.
- Heart Trouble - Don't need it, but I'll be getting it somewhere down the line.
- Hernia - Don't need that.
- Insomnia - Already have plenty of that. I don't need more.
- Lung Trouble - Don't need that.
- Mental Oppression - I don't know what that is, but I doubt I need it.
- Muscular Dystrophy - Don't need it.
- Nervous Condition - Don't need that.
- Alcoholism - I don't need it, and even if I did, I'm pretty sure I could make it for myself.
- Paralysis - Don't need that.
- Prostate - Yes. I definitely need this, but, again, I have one that's been treating me quite well. If I ever need a new one, they'll be the first to know.
- Skin Trouble - Don't need that. In fact, I have that E-Z bake Irish skin, so I think that's one of the last things I need.
- Spinal Condition - Don't need that
- Tuberculosis - That's still around? Why would anyone need that?
- Tumor - Don't need one of those. I suppose I need to throw in an Arnold reference here, huh?
- Weight Problems - Got it, don't need more. In fact, I think I need fewer or no weight problems.
- Better Job - Not right now.
- New or Better Home - No, I like the one I have.
- New or Better Car - Again, I like the one I have.
Let's look at the rest.
