Doctor: "Great news! I’m writing you a prescription that will completely cure you. Plus, it has the absolute fewest side effects compared to anything else on the market."
Patient: "Wow, that’s incredible. What are the side effects?"
Doctor: "Oh, just the standard minor stuff: dry mouth, mild headaches, a bit of fatigue, occasional dizziness, slight nausea, a temporary rash, vivid dreams, restless legs, ringing ears, unexpected sweating, a change in your sense of taste, involuntary jazz hands, the sudden ability to smell colors, extreme emotional attachment to household appliances, random bouts of speaking in a British accent, temporary loss of your left-turn signal coordination, unprovoked weeping during tire commercials, a mild craving for drywall, hair growth exclusively on your knuckles, phantom cell phone vibrations, a deep spiritual dread of lettuce, uncontrollable urge to middle-manage your family, and a slight green glow in low lighting."
Patient: (Sighs with relief) "Honestly, compared to being sick, I can handle all of that. Is that everything? Did we leave anything out?"
"It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky"
