uneasy rider
Holding on for dear life, I have become so old and decrepit that I must ride behind a younger man – a doctor no less. The scooter belongs to the young fellow in the photo. He is Dr. Paul Daniel Hyden and he instructs under and post grads in all things mathematical at Clemson University in South Carolina. Ok, so he can’t help me with my lumbago. But he will come in handy when I am to gosh darn old to cut the mustard or find my own primes.
Sorting my pills by color and weight would be a nice job for him also. There is no end to the things he could do for me given his math skills. I can’t wait until he can take me on a random walk in the park. Get it – random walk? Don’t worry about it; it’s a math joke.
It’s been a while since I saw him last but not to worry. I have an appointment to see him in April. The plane tickets are already purchased and I have begun stocking up on chewing gum and Sudafed. The whole family will be going. Get ready Doctor; I have some integrals that have been giving me problems lately. I need you to look at them.
Enough already with the math jokes old man; now take you pill and call him in the morning.

Yeah, I have the same problems with the pills. They're adding up. Too many pink ones for me.
