Great Gatsby!

That old coot Jessie Helms is undergoing heart surgery , I read in the Hannibal Mo. Times this morning. Broken ticker eh? Why I'd imagine a old doc like me knows just what the cause of it is. I'll bet it was just like at the end of the Dr. Suess' (who is no M.D. mind you, but knows wherefore which he speaks when it comes to the anatomy of who's.) The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I'll bet hanging around that drunk rock star Bono got the old man's heart a beating and caused it to swell 10 times larger then it's normal size.

It's what we like to call in the business hypertrophy (hi-PER'tro-fe). I've seen my share of that in my time. Like old man Johnson just outside of town. Though they may say he died of hypertrophy, I'll always say he died of a broken heart.
