Anatomy of Politics

I am a part-time adjunct professor at Santa Barbara City College and I right now I am teaching my class the basics of Anatomy for Estheticians.  We cover the basics of face, neck, should and arm bones and muscles.  This is a short story about arm muscles that I wrote, hoping it will help them remember two of the muscles in the arm!  I hope it’s silly enough for them to remember when they are taking the State Board Licensure Exam!

The Anatomy of Politics

 

 The Terminator, who was the Governor of California, said to the SUPINATOR, “I think you should RUN for office. What are your STRENGTHS?”

 

“Well,” said the SUPINATOR, “I RUN Parallel to the Ulna.  Plus I TURN the Palm of the Hand UP; this is perfect for collecting tax money from Californians.”

 

“Dat is convincing SUPINATA.”

 

But then the PRONATOR overheard this political conversation and muscled his way into the conversation.

 

“Excuse me, but I think I have better qualifications than the Supinator to RUN for office.  I RUN across the Ulna AND the front part of the RADIUS.  The Supinator only runs parallel to the Ulna,” said the PRONATOR.

 

The PRONATOR continued, “Plus, I turn the palm of the hand downward AND inward so I can shake the hands of Californians and not just collect their money.”
