owie
i hurt myself by coughing and sneezing.
for the past week or so i have had chest pain with each cough, sneeze, sniff, and deep breath (i gots allergies). i thought i was getting better, but today while crossing the street i sneezed. suddenly i was hurting a lot worse— with breathing in and breathing out, with each step, with every word i spoke.
i could take something for the pain. sure. but the best medicine for it is something i've been taking for fairly frequently for headaches. what if it becomes too much medicine? i could get ulcers. or kidney disease! what if i...
i am certain i have simply pulled a chest wall muscle. of course, it has been so long now (and the pain is getting worse) that i have to entertain another diganosis: a broken rib.
why on earth would i have broken a rib? coughing and sneezing? sure. little osteoporotic old people do it. so it's possible. so now do i have osteoporosis? am i malnourished?
this has been an exercise to illustrate that sometimes knowing too much makes for nothing but a big heap of trivia.
HA!
owie. it hurts to laugh.

And of course, sometimes, even when you wrote the song, someone else might be a better choice to play the lead break. This has been a message by vague parables worldwide. Void where prohibited. :)

Hm.
I think this would work very well for the hypochondriac, as well.
I hope your rib heals soon.
