DIGESTION,
n. The conversion of victuals into virtues. When the process is imperfect, vices are evolved instead-a circumstance from which that wicked writer, Dr. Jeremiah Blenn, infers that ladies are the greater sufferers from dyspepsia. This brutal judgement is found in his pamphlet entitled
Why Are Women Sickly (John Camden Hotten: London, 1870), a work that has elicited well-merited execration in seventy languages.
"Why are all our women sickly?"Asks the famous Dr. Blenn.
That is answered very quickly,-
Our physicians all are men.
There is not in this wide world a pleasure so sweet as the vindication of lovely woman against unjust aspersion.

Digestion and indigestion. About the same except different in meaning and not necessarily opposites.
Speaking of pumpkin pie, that is my favorite vegetable. Everytime I see a load of cute pigs in a truck headed for slaughter I almost decide to become a veggie.

John Camden Hotten, in the 1870 pamphlet entitled "Why Are Women Sickly?", revealed that I am a brutally wicked writer. This was then translated into 70 languages. If anyone is need of vindication, I believe that would be my humble self!

DIGESTION, n. an Italian action tale? Oh, that's why they called them Spaghetti Westerns!
Garbage in, garbage out.
From teeth to toot.
Digestion: a lost art of processing news in order to make informed decisions. In modern times, news is presented in late stages of post-digestion, often more suitable for flushing.

On the contrary, Doctor Blenn. You have to reach purgatory first.
