Heard this on the radio, very funny! Apparently it's a syndrome, could happen to anyone

I've got a similar complaint... I lose the power of coherent speech nearly every Saturday - just after midnight usually - but its nothing to do with a stroke!!!

Interesting, very interesting. So in other words, everybody who is different*, just needs to eat red meat, drink, and run laps until they collaspe, and they will sound liek the rest of us!

*different defined as anything not like midwestern United States people, like me.
