Equations

Every earlobe ever pierced, minus non-pierced lobes, without exception
 Quantified by head size, quality of piercings, and variety of earrings worn
   Under ultraviolet light, utilizing reflective space, sound waves and distance
    At appropriate intervals, measuring cut, clarity, carat, color and character
     Totaling to a six figure sum, then divided by US bonds withdrawn from IRA
     Increase the risk of screaming in agony, up to, but not more, than 50 decibels 
    On an operatic stage, bursting glass objects, as per fat lady singing, wherein
   Numerical miscalculations of damage, therein, must be subtracted from the
  Sum, so that all of said variables will not exceed the confusion of the bystander.

Hello Laura ... I say this in a nice way Laura; if one of the wannabee presidents read this, they'll want to use it as a campaign speech. It's better than what we're hearing now - Lindsay
