pollen counts

[mutepointe]

my wife has some questions. she suggested posing these to you folks. 1. why have pollen counts gotten so off the charts?
2. could this be nature's way of combating global warning?
3. can this be nature's way of dealing with the disappearnace of honey bees?

for reasons obvious to husbands, i'm staying silent.

Well... it's *plausible* that nature sees a need to up the likelihood of repairing the greening of the planet, and it is *plausible* that without honey bees to gather the pollen about their little legs, that more is free in the lower atmosphere, but it is not something that I could back with any scientific authority.

It's also *plausible* that it is part of earth's plan to anhiliate the human scourge from its system.

2. could this be nature's way of combating global warning?

No, but it could be nature's response to an earlier, more extended temperate season, courtesy of global warming.

It's more likely to be the current popularity and interest in counting pollen and the technological ability to do so and blab about it via the internet.

Drought is the culprit I've always heard associated with our especially bad
pollen season this year. Now, whether the drought in question was brought
about by Global Warming, that I can't say.

I think it's a conspiracy by the big drug companies to sell more drugs. Of course, they are in cahoots with the government and the meth makers to make my life miserable since I now have to sign in blood and promise my first male child at the pharmacy in order to purchase the medicine........

ahahahahahahahhahaha!!! You really thought that you could make your life as a husband easier ? ahahahahahhahahahaha!!!! Haven't you learned that just ain't gonna happen? It's the Wives Code of Conduct...never let your husband's life be easier...page 229, paragraph 3, line 2. It's all in black and white. Your efforts are futile.

TEH Cure(props to Cran)

take a handful of those pollen bulbs that fall off pine trees..

mash em up in a cup with honey....

take a Q-Tip and swab em under her eyelids while she is knocked out from the Benedryl...

after about a 20 day coma, she'll come to, being completely immune to that tree...just repeat the process for every pollen spore in a 30 mile radius of your house...she'll thank you later...

verrrry nice!!

Hih fiv!!
