Ask Dr. Wizard

When a person is hesitant to trust the science of medicine and the skills of a medical doctor, that person is left with only one alternative: asking advice from the magical Dr. Wizard.
 
Q: My life is in shambles, please let me know how to rebuild it.
 
Dr.W: Shambles is no easy place to rebuild. Many have starved there and even more than many have turned to rubber and bounced away. A life in Shambles can lead to a life in Decomposition and they it will be too late. At once, if not sooner, wait for an evening with a full moon and then stand under it while in an empty field and chew on the pedals of a red rose while repeating these words: Unca boop dotta smooky bun -- then go to sleep and when you awake things will be different.
 
Q: I went to bed with my best friend's wife and she put a curse on me for doing it. How can I avoid the horror of the curse.
 
Dr.W: Avoiding curse horrors requires the strength of lizard urine mixed in a bowl painted with marigolds and then sipped through a white straw with blue stripes. Repeat nightly until there are no curse horrors.
 
Q: How can I sustain happiness?
 
Dr.W: Humans have sold their souls for such a quality of life but there is a simpler solution. It requires...
 
five hairs from the tails of grey cats; three models of the Christ face carved from wax; an American penny that has been dipped in Olive Oil; the winter gloves of an octogenarian; unused shoelaces; three teaspoons of vanilla extract; white flour; a box of ribbon candy; a quarter pound of Olive Loaf; and lastly, the fin of a goldfish.
 
When liquified, the ingredients are to be poured over a naked person's head. Luck to you.
 
Q: Nothing goes right for me. What can I do? My mother said I was born under a bad sign and I've been down since I began to crawl.
 
Dr.W: Find solace in the fact that if it wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have no luck at all.
