DANGER, SOFT SHOULDER

I paused yesterday on I-40 to snap a picture of this billboard.  For some reason, it draws my eye every morning as I'm driving to work in order to support my overt happiness.  


So I thought I'd take a picture of it to safely ponder & dissect the information on this billboard - and to share the thoughts  it provokes in my pitiful mind every morning on my commute;
 

The Girl:

• Where is her shirt?
• Is she looking for the scar?
• Is this Dr. Dube's assistant?  Will she answer the phone if I call this number?
• I wish that I could turn my head that far, but I can't because of my C-5 & C-6 degenerative discs.  I wonder if Dr. Dube knows a good neurosurgeon he could recommend?
• There's no way that this girl has had shoulder surgery, but she makes me look every morning!  This is good marketing by Dube.

Minimally Invasive:
This is an oxymoron.  If it's invasive, it ain't minimal.

Shoulder Surgery:
To reiterate, and as anyone my age with crusty, creaky joints knows…there is no such thing as minimally invasive (or minor) "Surgery"

Dube Orthopedics
Is it pronounced "doob" or "doobie"?  That's a funny name for a Doctor who works on "joints".  
In either case, I will not be going to see him strictly based on that.  I've gone to other doctors before who's names invoke unfortunate connotations.  The most prominent of those being a gastrointestinal specialist in South Carolina named…Dr. Ramsbottom. (true)

There is another Dube billboard as well, featuring a seductively-bent knee that looks as if it could be of this same young lady with obvious, premature joint issues.  I can't remember where it is, but if I see it I will do a follow-up post or tweet out a picture.  That way, we can be Dube Brothers!

Curmudgeon Out!
