    I swear to Christ, at times I wish I had an "in" with your pharmacist.
    Goodness, which words are you having trouble with?
    Sad, glamor, gold, master, people, paying, era, followed, whore of Babylon ?

    Would verse make it easier for you?
    I am writing a prose tonight after all.

    It is very sad
    Ms. Houston
    thought glamor was gold
    And gold was a master.
    People are still paying
    The price of that era
    A confused population
    followed a pied piper,
    worse than a Neverland,
    the whore of Babylon.

    Babylon, Babylon, Babylon,
    Houston we have a problem.
    Babylon, Babylon, Babylon,
    Houston we have a problem.
    Babylon, Babylon, Babylon,
    Houston we have a problem.

            Go see a doctor...

            Considering your other diagnoses, your headache is probably due to some psychosomatic repression.

                What does that mean?

                Understatement
                From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
                Understatement is a form of speech which contains an expression of less strength than would be expected. This is not to be confused with euphemism, where a polite phrase is used in place of a harsher or more offensive expression.
                Understatement is a staple of humor in English-speaking cultures, especially in British humor. For example, in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, a suburban dinner party is invaded by Death, who wears a long black cloak and carries a scythe. He is the Grim Reaper; the party is over; the guests must all go with him. "Well," says one party guest, "that's cast rather a gloom over the evening, hasn't it?" In another scene, an Army officer has just lost his leg. When asked how he feels, he looks down at his bloody stump and responds, "Stings a bit."
                [edit]Notable historic examples

                Event: The well-known Victorian critique of Cleopatra's behavior: "So unlike the home life of our own dear Queen!"[1]
                Event: During the Kuala Lumpur to Perth leg of British Airways Flight 9 on 24 June 1982, volcanic ash causes all four engines of the Boeing 747 aircraft to fail. Although pressed for time as the aircraft rapidly lost altitude, Captain Eric Moody still managed to make an announcement to the passengers. Comment: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress."[2]
                Event: A 2006 interview regarding current affairs in the Middle East with the Egyptian Foreign Minister. Comment by the Foreign Minister: "I think there's a problem between Shias and Sunnis". (BBC World Service, 23:50, Australian Eastern Standard Time, May 18, 2006)



                Ok then.

                Just joshing with you.
