    His face does convey discomfort or dyspepsia. “General Treatment suffers” may be a bit of an exaggeration.

    A game of marbles in out. He definitely doesn’t look like a good shooter marble. (How do I know this? Just look at his double chin and his droopy, lopsided jowls.)

    Is that a fence or a levee? Plug it with his head. Hope it holds.

    Some general treatments deserve to suffer.

    It is wild black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) season!

    It begins to the south and continues for several days as varying amounts of sunlight and other conditions retard ripening. In the farther northern areas, the season will begin later, of course. Northern areas of border states will have theirs in August, just in time for bears to load up on sugars for the year in preparation for winter.

    Unless you are a bear, taking them out of context is suggested, as what is lost is mostly thorns and leaves.

    Poor General Treatment. He was a good leader until he lost his head.

    Basic deconstructionism; break everything down & take it out of context & of course it has no meaning. Boil out all of the bull & your bull is all boiled out.

    #361 in the United Methodist Hymnal is Rock of Ages, Cleft For Me. Coincidence?

    It is a Lame Paradox, is it not? Every single commenter establishes his or her own Context for whatever fable, aphorism, apothegm, or moral-of-the-story he or she establishes, however witty, sardonic, sarcastic, ironic, stream-of-consciousness, or even moronic it may or may not be.

    Let it be!

    Squeeze the skull until the brain-jelly pops!

    (Does that make me comically sadistic?)

    Comically. Lamely.

    Be not judgmental (lest ye be judged). Don’t fence me in behind that New Style crinkly-steel barricade. (See the fine album by Australia’s own Kasey Chambers, Barricades & Brickwalls, 2001.)
