When I saw the term "blood sucking leaches" I immediately started thinking politics. So I guess I can't comment today. Have a great Friday everyone.

Oops, leeches. I guess the coffee hasn't leached into my blood stream yet.

You and me both, TR... Leeches ARE useful, tho - real good for draining off bruising and other sub-skin blood pooling...
Mmmmm, raising medical quality sterile leeches - THERE's a home business opportunity for ya!

@TrickyRicky- Trust me, I've made that same mistake in the past.

@Pete(Detroit)- You're quite right that medical quality sterile leeches are very useful in the treatment of certain maladies. And maggots are too! And frankly, I'm surprised that nobody has developed a lovable cartoon mascot of a tapeworm to tout a new, all-natural, organic way to lose weight without eating less or exercising.

Hmmm, I'll be right back. I'm going to go file the paperwork to open the "Tapemeasure Worm Weight Loss Centers."
