Are you demented?

DEMENTIA
Are any of you demented?
How do you know?…or not?
If you do not know, how do you find out?

Your friends won’t tell you.
Your wife may tell you, but who believes her?
How old do you have to be?
Is there a mandatory minimum age?
Are you beyond it?

Dementia is defined as…
Severe impairment or loss of intellectual capacity and personality integration, due to the loss of or damage to neurons in the brain.
How are your neurons doing?
Do you have as many as you should?
Are they damaged?
How do you know?

You may be Delusional, which is maintaining fixed false beliefs even when confronted with facts, usually as a result of mental illness.
Were you ever dropped on your head?
How do you know? Do you have a bump?
Your bumps can be professionally read.

You may seek Diagnosis, which The Devil’s Dictionary defines as…
A physician’s forecast of the disease based on the patients pulse and purse.

The good news seems to be that if you think yourself Demented, you may only be Delusional, which is either good or bad depending on your point of view.

Then again you may wake up and find this all a dream?
We suggest you destruct this message to remove evident evidence.
Of course if you are demented that may be beyond your grasp?
