Note to reader:
I wrote this piece about six weeks ago and submitted it to the “humor” page of a prestigious magazine that deals with important cultural and historical issues in the United States. Their announced acceptance/rejection time line has passed so I’m guessing that it wasn’t quite as “genial” as the writer’s guidelines advised it should be. But I will let you, the reader, decide if I need to work on my geniality.
This is also a prelude to a piece I’ve been working on in my head for the past few days dealing with another “scientific” study that finds self-control is also contagious. I don’t know if that piece will be satirical, but it will be critical in a thoughtful, creative way. (I hope.)
