MS isn't so bad...

So, I've been experiencing the wondrous "Optic Neuritis of MS". Hey! What a great name for a band! Someone call Mutt Lange! Even better if the members of the band can be from Mississippi! I even have the perfect shot for their first ablum cover:

But, I digress. For everyone it's different, but the bottom line is, you're not seeing things properly. Although it's a big pain in the butt to not be able to see very well, it certainly has its benefits!

1) If your mate is ugly, the blurriness just might make him or her go from a 3 or 4 to a 10 - no alcohol necessary! If your mate is imaginary, you wont notice the absence of their physical self! If your mate is battery operated, you might hit a wrong button and may find a new setting you never knew existed! Win-win situation all around.

2) It's a good excuse to not do too much work. "Sorry, don't think you really want me to work on that TPS report. It may come out a STP report and I know NOTHING about viscosity. Worse yet, an STD report, in which case, I know 3 or 4 peoplewho should probably appear on it."

3)You'd be really great on Fear Factor eating things that simply look gross. Those maggots probably look like steak! This might be enough to fool your brain into thinking they taste like chicken. Also a plus: you can easily explain away food spillage on your clothes. "Oh that? Yeah, I couldn't see the rim of the coffee cup to get it to my lips properly."

4)You can get out of traffic tickets. Officer: "Ma'am, have you had anything to drink today?" Me: "No sir! I just can't see the lines on the road very well today - it the MS you know." (Say the whole MS part as a whisper for a more dramatic effect).

5)It's an excellent reason to sleep in the middle of the day. After all, the backs of your eyelids wont look any different to you!

So whoop it up everybody! Run right out and get yourself some "ON a-la MS". All the cool kids are doing it.
