What are you reading, Sumiko?

Just a pop psychology book one of my clients left in the limo today. I don't know why she reads it; it's all completely wrong.

What is?

Well...

It says here:
The average unmarried female, basically insecure, due to some long frustration may react with psychosomatic symptoms (difficult to endure) affecting the upper resperatory tract.

In other words, just from waiting around for that plain little band of gold, a person can develop a cold!

You can spray her wherever you figure there's streptococci lurk. You can give her a shot for whatever's she's got, but it just won't work. If she's tired of getting the fish eye from the hotel clerk, a person can develop a cold.

It says here:
The female remaining single

Just in the legal sense!

shows a neurotic tendancy, see note.

Note:
  • Chronic organic symptoms
  • Toxic or hypertense
  • Involving the eye, the ear, the nose, and throat.

    In other words, just from worrying whether the wedding is on or off, a person can develop a cough!

    You can feed her all day with the vitamin A and the bromofizz, but the medicine never gets anywhere near where the trouble is. If she's getting a kind of name for herself, and the name ain't his, a person can develop a cough.

    And furthur more, just from stalling and stalling and stalling the wedding trip, a person can develop la grippe!

    When they get on the train to the onsen and she can hear shrine bells chime... The compartment is air conditioned and the mood sublime...

    Then they get off at Yoshimatsu for the fourteenth time!

    A person can develop la grippe, la grippe, la post nasal drip, with the wheezes and the sneezes and a sinus that's really a pip!

    From a lack of community property and a feeling she's getting too old, a person can develop a bad, bad cold!

    ...God, what was that?

    Is this why you've been sniffing lately?

    ...

    No. Don't believe a word of it, Floramon. Pop psychology's a pile of crap made to sell, and I know crap made to sell.

    Are you sure? You seem lonely sometimes...

    Definitely.

    [And with that, Sumiko sneezes.]
