Pearls of Wisdom

Day 64
What am I doing that is counterproductive to what I want?
Here’s what made me ask myself that question today: a man is suing CBS because he feels he was duped into appearing on a television show and he’s embarrassed by the result.
Let’s just say that I never heard of “pearly penile papules” before, and if this lawsuit hadn’t hit the news, I might have gone my whole life without this information, which would have been fine with me.
But now I know what they are, I know who had them, and because of his lawsuit, the video is everywhere and I can watch the episode in question. (Which I did NOT, thankyouverymuch)
This cannot possibly be his hoped-for outcome. It was a predictable outcome, though.
So, what am I doing that is guaranteed to produce an unwanted outcome? Yikes. I can think of at least three things. And one of them is what I was planning to have for lunch.
Thanks, penis lawsuit guy.

Oh Ruth Ann … this reminds me to write the book of epic embarassments gathered from my days in the ER, clinic and surgery … thanks!
Prologue: “Did you hear about the guy with the star tattooed on his penis?”
