    He pretends – so basicly it is like an actor.

    The capsule version: you have a secure future with him.

    If anyone (any thing? ) comes along that does your job better, you’ll be put on the shelf.

    Or maybe you’ll just get old, and stop working.

     

    But his work depends on being useless…

    and supporting you.

    Placebos do work if the brain thinks they will work. Like Emma on The Andy Griffith Show who would buy a handfull of pills for 10 cents.

    He’s better than marrying an enema. They’re a pain in the, well, you know.

    You may need to take a “Chill Pill”.

    Admit it, he made you feel good for a while at least. And remember, you could have married that other pill. What was his name? Oh yeah, O.P. Oyd.

    Just admit it, you were hoping he turned out to be Viagra.

    The placebo effect is a real effect, but only if the doc completely cons the patient into believing in it, which would be unethical in addition to being unreliable.

    There’s no placebo like home.
