Lower your blood pressure in 10 seconds…

Blog Guy, I remember when you used to run photos of really cute animals now and then, to lower people’s blood pressure. You haven’t done that recently.
Nah, my blood pressure is fine now.
But what about us? Your readers? Couldn’t you just find one extraordinarily wonderful shot that brightened your whole month, and use that really big?
Okay, okay, I’ll see if I can find something.
Great! And remember what you used to say along with these photos?
Yes. If you can’t think of anyone to send this to, then you need to find new friends.

Really cute animals?
Think of the poor, oppressed eskimos!
They think that there is nothing better than a mouthful of some really great polar bear fat!
Your blood pressure would probably lower dramatically after one of those “really cute animals” removed your jugular too.
Really cute photo. Definitely lowered my BP. Reminds me of me who needs to take a bath after a hard day’s work.
In Japan you can rent a puss cat by the hour. Stroking a pet helps lower blood pressure – purrrrfect.
How come you don’t have any black polar bears in this picture?
All polar bears are black. You just can’t see it through their fur.

Hahahaha! Testify Sister!
A much simpler way to lower your blood pressure in ten seconds is to sever an artery. It is a bit messy, though, and can result in elevating the blood pressure of others.
Actually, taking a reasonable dose of amlodipine or verapimil will drop your pressure quickly without any messy blood stains. No sweat for the heirs. No messy clean-up.
