   The following is from a seminar called "Stress and
   Disease" by Dr. Nicholas Hall, an expert in psycho
   biology. He gave this example of a coping skill for
   job stress:
  
   When you have had one of those TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE
   IT days, try this:
  
   On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and
   go to the section where they have thermometers. You
   will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by
   *Q-Tip. Be very sure that you get this brand.
  
   When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes,
   and disconnect the phone so you will not be
   disturbed during your therapy. Change to very
   comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie
   down on your bed. Open the package and remove the
   thermometer. Carefully place it on the bedside table
   so that it will not become chipped or broken.
   Take out the written material that accompanies the
   thermometer and read it. You will notice in small
   print the statement that "Every rectal thermometer
   made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested."
  
   Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times,"I
   am so glad I do not work in quality control at the
   Q-Tip Company."
