Dear Uncle TM,
I have never been able to keep my mouth shut and to say the least it has caused me a world of hurt. I have tried just about everything that you can think of. One day I even put a piece of tape over my mouth but I couldn’t stop my tongue from licking through the tape so that I could tell the world just what I thought they needed to hear. I have thought about going to the doctor but I am afraid that he is going to diagnose me with Over Active Blabber. That is okay but I am afraid of the side effects from the drugs he might prescribe. Uncle TM do you know anything about OAB and what they do to treat it?
Signed,
Let Me Tell You
Dear Let Me Tell You,
Over Active Blabber has plagued families all over the country for hundreds of years. Normally people who suffer from the disease simply go into politics rather than seek treatment. Since we have a family member who suffered from OAB, I am aware of the side effects. Aunt Blabby was a wonderful person but you could hear her coming from a block away. She would go on and on and while initially her one sided conversation made sense, after about 30 minutes she became a blithering idiot. Finally the family decided to have an intervention and under strong verbal protest she was put on a regiment of strong anti blabber drugs. Let me tell you, that was the worse decision the family ever made. Aunt Blabby, since she couldn’t talk, she started to eat massive quantities of fast food. Within months we stopped calling her Aunt Blabby. She sadly became Aunt Flabby. So please learn from our mistake and run for office this fall.
