RANDOM REMINDER

NASAL NOCTURNE

If you snore and you are married, then snore carefully tonight for your wife may discover something about you that she never dreamed of. For snoring, according to an article in the magazine “New Doctor” can be as revealing as talking in your sleep. It seems that if one snores like a lion it is indicative of suppressed aggression. In other words your snore is worse than your bite. To expand on the subject so to speak, you may be a timid soul, a school teacher perhaps, trying in vain to cope with a boisterous class of 14-year-olds during the working day. By night you make

up for it if you roar and become King of the Jungle. Carrying the hypothesis a stage further you may grunt like a Berkshire. It means the same. You feel insecure. Then again, you may have musical ability and arouse the whole house with delightful cadences, elegant pauses and subtle variations in harmony and timing. These notes serve to soften the image of the hard, practical businessman everyone takes you for. Only in the secret anonymity of the bedroom can you indulge your craving for artistic self-expression as you sleep and snore. On the other hand you could be the purring type

and tremendously happy with your home life and are just bursting to tell the world all about it. Everyone that is except your wife in case she starts taking your love for granted. There are those married men too, who are prone to punctuate their snoring proclivities with long, low whistles. Should some survey be taken of them it would undoubtedly disclose that many in this category have been banished from the boudoir. But they should take comfort from the fact that adenoid operations are comparatively inexpensive and not necessarily confined to the younger segment of our society.
