I would like one day to learn how to hypnotise people for my own benefit

It’s pretty simple. I’ve done the same course twice - the first time (about 1980) I was drinking too much to remember what I needed to for the exam & the second time (2001) I was smoking too much dope to remember what I needed to for the exam.
The reason for doing the course? I needed to be accredited if I was gunna earn my living from it.
Basically all you need is confidence, a willing, compliant subject (it’s almost impossible to hypnotise someone who doesn’t want to be hypnotised), a bit of knowledge about hypnosis and the ability to use your voice to relax someone.
A bonus would be having a voice like mine that’s fairly low due to my voice box being modified by excessive smoking. 

Les this page got dugg and was in the top 10 as of my writing this… Watch out man.

Careful with them bandwidth bills :D

Well that explains some of the sluggishness I’ve been noticing recently.

That being the case then let me reiterate that the image isn’t of my creation, but was created by the fine folks over at Grey’s Journal and that they deserve all the credit for how clever it is. Seems some folks might be confused about that, or at least one commenter earlier was.

Damn, I just checked the digg website and it’s currently sitting at number 3.

Double dipping to say that I’ve read through some of the comments in the Digg thread and I’m very impressed with the quality of the defenders of the illustration. I hope some of them start hanging out around here.
