Over the holidays, there was a good deal of over-indulgence in the new taste sensation, Reece’s Persimmon Butter Cups. There is no known antidote, so Dr. Sick [sic], of the “Docs & Docks Medical and Canoe Repair Clinic,” out by Blue Bayou Lake, decided to try placebos. He saw recently on TV, where he gets most of his continuing education, that people got better with placebos even if they knew they were getting a placebo rather than the real thing.
Bessie Bandervilt had eaten so many Persimmon Butter Cups that she looked pregnant, which at 94 years of age is cause for talk.
“Doc, you’ve got to help me,” she said to Dr. Sick [sic].
“Here,” he said. “Try some of the new Docs & Docks PCBs.”
“Aren’t PCBs bad for you.”
“Of course not. Persimmon Correcting Busters are great for your condition.”
“Are these the real thing?”
“Of course. If I gave you a placebo, I’d have to charge you more.”
