Interlibrary Loan of the day


Unless you're Mr. Furious, letting your anger get out of control is probably something that should be avoided. That's where this book, Getting Anger Under Control, comes in handy. Like the ILL of the day yesterday, God plays a large part in this book's method. Taking a random sample, Captain ILL counted 10 uses of the world "God" or "Christ" on page 208. No doubt this works fine for folks who have the patience for churching, praying, and tithing, but the Captain is all about shortcuts, so he went to visit his old pal Professor X, and had him use his powers of telepathy to go in and re-wire all the "anger parts" of Captain ILL's brain. Now whenever the Captain finds himself in an angry situation, he gets a sudden craving for turnips instead. This can create problems too (have you ever tried finding a turnip in the middle of a superbrawl?), but is vastly preferable to losing your cool during tense negotiations with someone who has a giant laser pointed at the Earth.
