Failed Philosophy Students

Philosophers debated: Can a medium ever be small or large? Is faux leather from fake cows? Does a hypochondriac think he has everything except hypochondria? Do denture wearers always give us false smiles? If a snail loses its shell, does it become a slug? For Su’s Suzette Prime contest, 27th November

I love what you have crafted for this write, a very difficult venture to say the least! I don't know where to go for this contest, a true dilemma! Maybe I can write on just that subject, dilemmas! Anyway, fantastic piece m friend! Great Work!!

Well personally I heard that there was a man once who kept telling the doctors that he was sick but they said wasn't a thing wrong with him..His wife found him dead in the bed one morning and called the doctor and said you remember my husband who you said just thought that he was sick well this morning he thinks he is dead..Reads like a winner in Su's contest..Good luck..Thanks for stopping by..Sara
