i knew a dude once who used to toast to hypnosis and another dude who toasted to acupuncture. they both, however, toasted to each respective discipline as a cure for alcoholism…

…dunno that i could help from at least giggling after anticipating the hypnotist softly saying stuff like “alllriiiiiiiiiiiiiight, now you’re going to relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax every musclllllle”

i would snort and then have to just leave or else just play along for fun cuz perrhaps i think the reverence would be pretty well beat out of it by then. so as to let them get on with it, i’d excuse myself and go get a drink of water or something.
