Confessions of a massage therapist:

I have a client, a lovely lady. I have more than one client but I'm talking about this one today.

She has this GREAT BIG HUGE ENORMOUS ANCIENT BLACKHEAD on her back. Every time I see it I'm driven almost frantic by the desire to extirpate it, by force or by instrument, whatever it takes. I fear that someday I'll lose all self-control and grab it by the throat and squeeze.

It's been hours since she left and I'm still fraught.
