It’s Time to Put Your Feet Up and Take Your Mind Off Your Troubles
ITEM! Apparently, the Wall Street Journal offices are rife with disease. I know this because people keep finding Topic Drift by googling “wall street journal staph infections.” As I always say, torpid speculation in conjunction with five distinct Google searches constitutes a convergence of evidence, or proof.
Is it safe to handle your morning Wall Street Journal? Not on your life. Staph can be deadly. Just read the WSJ online, or better yet, discontinue your subscription immediately, pack your bags and enlist in the French Foreign Legion. You deserve it! It’s time to put your feet up and take your mind off your troubles. In addition to putting up your feet, you will need to be able to do 30 pushups and 50 situps. You must be able to climb a 20 foot rope without using said feet or a ladder, and you must be able to run 8 kilometres with a 12 kilogram rucksack in less than one hour. You must do 8 chinups with your palms away from you as you grip the bar, and you must not be married. These are not my personal stipulations; they are the grandiose stipulations of the French Foreign Legion. Who are you to question the French Foreign Legion? Let’s eat.

That Foreign Legion thing sounds like a great way to stay fit. Plus, you get plenty of sun. I assume they'd also teach me some French, which would be handy when I become rich and move to Quebec. I have no idea what I'm talking about.
What the hey-o! happened to your blog?
Never mind, it's better now.
Chris's comment had me flummoxed.

A friend of mine served in the Spanish Foreign Legion, in the early eighties. He was a tough, and also a bit mad.
