Captive Audience of One

Advice Department: Think twice before you decide to become a barber, beautician, or a podiatrist. You are a captive audience of one, it comes with the job. You are expected to listen to and make enthused comments for whatever compulsive your customer/patient has on his/her mind. I went to a podiatrist yesterday. She held her own when I chose to talk about birds and their habits and tweets. She has a bird house with food in it that has some interesting feather visitors. She was lucky I didn’t choose to talk about another subject I have been thinking a lot about: Are octopuses/octopi descendants of aliens whose spaceship crashed into the ocean millions of years ago?
