      For people who don’t know, the theory of chiropractics is that the light of God somehow shines into the human body through the top of the head, travels down the spine, and on through the nerves. If you can just fix any blockages (aka “subluxations”) in that flow then it will be impossible for disease to exist in the body. Because God’s light.

      The founder of chiropractics was told this information by a ghost.

      I know some people swear by chiropractic adjustments, but this is information I wish I’d known when I had my back injury because going to a chiropractor set my recovery back by at least three years. And the money I lost to that quack could have paid for not only the legit physical therapist that actually got me feeling better, but probably a decent massage chair too.

    All rich people became rich because people like you and me are paying more for services and things than they’re truly worth, which means we pretty much never get our money’s worth even when we feel like we do.

    There are no good rich people.

      Most rich people became rich because their ancestors got paid a surplus.

    That you need to wash your hands after going to the bathroom. I’ve seen too many grown men walk straight out of the restroom after urinating.

      I feel so nasty if I don’t wash my hands after using the bathroom.

      I’m not a germaphobe, but I refuse to touch bathroom handles. I will grab a paper towel and use it to turn on and off the faucet and open the bathroom door.
