Freezer burn is a tradition in every household. We visited a friend’s mother-in-law’s house a while back. There was a huge freezer in the basement, and I thought about all the shows and movies where people hide a dead body in the freezer. So as a joke I opened it up, ready to pretend [...]

Falling and tripping make a lot of people laugh– until it happens to them.
I don’t know why people laugh when they see others get hurt, like on that show America’s Funniest Home Videos. I refuse to watch it because I don’t understand what’s so funny about seeing someone hit the ground. As a [...]

We all do dumb things at times. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb if you do dumb things, although some might argue the point. But when doing something dumb endangers not only you but also other people, it’s a concern for everyone.
Have you been keeping yourself safe on the roads?
Recently, while I was driving [...]

Ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer must have had a pretty big ego to think he could hire prostitutes and not get caught. Hello! But then again, it seems most powerful people get a swollen head and feel untouchable-until they get a swollen lip when they get caught. Perhaps if the head did visibly swell up, it [...]

Weight lifting used to be a passion of mine. As a “petite” Asian man, I used to be very self-conscious about my size. In elementary school, I was always chosen last to join a team in physical education. Even Gigi, a four-pound girl, was chosen before me (okay, I made that part up, but it [...]

Jessica Simpson– you either love her or hate her. I think she’s okay– but come on! You and I both know she knows what “Chicken of the Sea” is. On her reality show, she was so dumb-dumb pretending she didn’t know it was tuna fish. She and Nick, her ex-hubbie (by the way, I think [...]

Where do myths and misconceptions come from? Some people swear that eating white raisins soaked in gin relieves arthritis pains. (Gin should be a card game, not a drink. Yuck!) Some people tie a dirty sock around their necks to fight off colds. (My luck, I would get athletes foot on my neck.)
Many people [...]

Some people faint at the sight of blood, which I don’t quite understand because we all bleed– some more than others (especially drama queens). Remember the Saturday Night Live skit* on Julia Child?
It’s amazing any of us are alive. I’m studying for my 10-year re-certification for the internal medicine boards. I reviewed the blood [...]

Jan Egeland, the United Nations undersecretary for humanitarian affairs says, “Natural disasters affect at least seven times more people than conflicts.” I don’t know if that is statistically valid, but look around the world. Right now, Louisiana and Mississippi are in trouble. Big trouble.
After September 11, 2001, we might have hoped this country would [...]

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck had some great adventures.
“It’s Duck season!” “It’s Wabbit season!” “It’s Wabbit season!” “It’s Duck season, Fire!!” Boom!
Remember when they entered Aladdin’s cave and found enough jewelry to make Joan Rivers have a seizure?
Daffy said, “It’s all mine, mine, mine! I’m rich and happy!” But could you imagine if [...]
