The Recession and My Favorite Cranial Nerve

I think everyone's aware that we're having a bit of an economic recession. And what better to do in a recession than look for work until you give up, then wander around aimlessly looking for something to do?

Enter the cranial nerves. The Vagus Nerve, to be specific. And to be redundant, Cranial Nerve X. It's known to Anatomist-Ornithologists the world over as one of the "Four Birds of the Mediastinum"!

Why the Vagus Nerve? Well, ever hear of a vagabond? How about a vagrant? Well, the Vagus Nerve is called that because it "wanders" all the way from the head (the brain, actually) to the lungs, the stomach, and the intestines (among other places), just like a vagabond wanders from place to place.

Anyway, whenever you're concerned about the "global economic downturn", instead of worrying about having all your "ducks in a row", just remember the Vagus Nerve, and then go hitchiking.
