Ah-ha, I made a bet with myself that Randolph was right! All I have
to show for it is a new syndrome, tho': MPD/CD (Multiple Personality
Debit/Credit Disorder). Can I get a referral to a CPA, I wonder?
Also wonder whether Andy's used the long version of FOP in his poem
(how 'bowt posting it?) or this wonderful acronym, which may be
Randolph's own coinage(?).
Or maybe not: at the Massachusetts medical clinic where I worked in
the late 1970s, some of the older docs were still writing up patient
charts with such infamous acronyms as FLK (funny-looking kid) and
PPP (piss-poor protoplasm). And I heard more recently that some ERs
still use LOLINAD (little old lady in no apparent distress).
