13. I always wanted to blame our healthcare woes on the illegal aliens. Now I really see it's all the exhaustion and rehab that's spinning it out of control. Hey Sally, take a pill and a nap.

15. I (and everyone I know) treat exhaustion by turning off the phone and going to bed.
I wonder why they have to go to the hospital instead?
