Why would you want to be cured from that? I've waited all my life to get old enough to be able to get away with saying anything to anybody I want. To which they reply, " Awww. He's just a cute, old, miserable cynic. He just needs a hug".  :hug:

Are you sure they add that last sentence?

No, the old git just added that bit on.

Oh no. They say it alright. They don't offer to do it, but they do say it. Sounds like 'hug' anyway. Could be 'drug', but it sounds like they saying 'hug'.

Don't mind me, Martok - I'm just an incurably, miserable, old cynic :-)

Heh.  I suppose all that bludgeoning from the frying pan had to take its toll eventually...

Its not the same anymore - she's not as strong as she used to be so has to use an omelette pan instead ;)

She's called round to the Council to have them send over someone as part of your elder care benefits to give you a proper smacking. The NHS is a wonderful thing.

I actually don't really like games.

Think of what they do as a sort of retrophrenology.

Creating the lumps instead of interpreting them? A sort of Phrenological Lithotyping then.

It seems logical that a skilled operator, with the careful application of a suitable blunt instrument, can, by tapping the head in the correct spot, enhance, or indeed, create, any ability desired by the tapee.

Obviously, the effectiveness of this procedure is governed by the amount of cash 'donated' by the tapee to the, erm, tapper.

I assume that the whole unlikely operation described above must be successful, since the tapper has usually rushed off to another appointment  long before the tapee has, um, recovered sufficiently to test out their new or enhanced personal traits.
