Cool article @mobbs - I have to pretty much agree with you on the acupuncture being total BS. I also have to admit that have done a treatment for back pain in the past - exactly 1. I went for a treatment and after it was finished, with expert precision the lady says "you mes up bad - u come bak mor".
I couldn't help but laugh at her as I walked out the door. In the end my back still hurt - but at least I didn't have the burden of carrying around the $50 it cost me... So there was a bright side... :)
Lol the way you typed it voiced it in my head perfectly. Funny story! A bad workman always blames his tools. A bad conman always blames his customer! (I'm coining that).
