165. Nasruddin and the Butterfly

Nasruddin was obsessed with butterflies. Whenever he saw a butterfly, he would stop whatever he was doing and watch the butterfly. He would get up and follow the butterfly, going wherever the butterfly would go until finally it would flutter away.

“I must learn what a butterfly truly is!” Nasruddin declared, so he got a net and caught a butterfly.

Then he took the butterfly and carefully removed its wings.

Next he removed the two antennae, and then the legs, and also the head.

“I can see all the butterfly’s parts now,” said Nasruddin. “But where did the butterfly go?”

I have started to take a BHP supplement that I received yesterday. From what I have read it takes 6 weeks to provide the relief that most men are seeking although some reviews claim that it works after only a few weeks. Then there are other reviewers that take it for 4 weeks and then complain that it does not work which indicates that they have not read the reviews for the product. I’ll give it a try and see if it cuts down my nightly bathroom trips and sleep disruption.
I have not brought the issue to the attention of my ‘doctor’ at the VA knowing that she would proscribe a drug that either made my cholesterol or blood pressure worse and then proscribe a drug to control that side effect etc.etc. She gave up on sending me any Messages about the CT follow up and has not scheduled an appointment. So, I can only guess it is do it my way or we don’t do it!
