And I have a problem with comparisons to "sphincter regions"!
What's the difference between a "sphincter region" and LCM (really, TWI in general)?
A "sphincter region" helps to eliminate waste which would otherwise poison the body....
(you can take it from there)
'member when LCM was all excited about the Sphinx and sent the Corps a handout of all the sphincter muscles in the body. Turns out there are like 26. The sphinx is like a sphincter in that it "puckers together" the constellations of LEO and VIRGO.

Oh God, that is funny. A hand out on all your a$$ muscles? That's unreal. :lol:
Lindy,
That would have been funny, but that's not what I meant. There are other valve like structures in the body all named with a sphincter derived name. Apparently, your tear ducts for example have a sphincter. (The a$$ valve is just the most famous sphincter. ) I can't say for sure I'm describing it precisely in medical terms but the info was all long these lines. I'll have to check - I may still have that handout.
Even though he was assigned to the Research Department after his stepping down from the presidency, I don't think he actually worked in that Department. His face was unseen at HQ for at least 2 months after he was found out. There was an actual office for the Research Department. He was never in there before he left HQ. I think that was just a cover to make people think he actually had a job to do and that he wouldn't be collecting money without working (if he ever did do that while he was president.)

So, are you saying they lied intentionally to the rank-and-file?

Somehow it fits...Martindale becoming infatuated with the sphincter muscle. I mean, anybody who prances around on stage in leotards as "gawds minister", is surely a candidate for spiritualizing the significance of the human waste system....has ever the expression "it takes one to know one" ever been more fitting?

I am still chuckling over this!
I wonder if this was one of his "red-balloon" revelations';
you know, came to him in a dream where it went like:
Sphinx - What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?
LCM - I don't know, but here's one: What has four wheels and flies?
Sphinx - I don't know, but you're an @ $ $ hole!
And that's how you earn a salary at TWI as a reseach coordinator.

Seems like ol Craig's Revelations may have come during some special treatment... what would get him to think of all the Sphincter muscles?... too many beans & fiber, followed by a massage/wax job...
Kevlar, that is tooo funny! How you can get the riddle of the sphinx, the riddle of the garbage truck, and Martindale is an all in one post.
Truly a thing of beauty....
As for this comment by skyrider,
From 1971-2000, all corps couples were treated as ONE UNIT......ALWAYS. If the husband screwed up, they both were dropped from corps and sent packing.
That was how it went for me in 1980. Hubby got caught drunk, and poof! we were both kicked off of Staff. VPW talked to him while he was drunk and made the decision to send us both to AZ. I was not allowed to speak to VP -- the closest I got was to DEW, who said I'd "be blessed" by going with my husband. I almost got dead instead.
The "blessing" was in finding out what TWI was really like, and that it stunk from the top down. Didn't matter that I'd been a faithful Wayfer for nine years, and had every program they offered. Thanks, TWI!
The only thing better than being in TWI is...NOT being in TWI!
You're killing me here... I can't stop chuckling to myself....
and for some bizarre reason ... this joke that my daughter told me yesterday popped into my head... so I feel this is a 'sign' and I must share. (I think it was inspired from reading what is written under your avatar).
Man in restaurant calls over his waitress:
Waitress, there is a dead ant floating in my soup.
Waitress:
I know. They're not very good swimmers.

NA-UH! :o
You can't be serious. That is going to keep me laughing through the weekend.
26 muscles you say. I believe that would be 2 x 13, and we all know the biblical significants of that.
That's right.... Onion established.
Oh God, that is funny. A hand out on all your a$$ muscles? That's unreal. :lol:
So was he saying that Leo is like the left cheek and Virgo is the right? The rest of the constellations fall somewhere in a black hole?

Of course,
Bullinger explained the name was from "sphingo" or "TO JOIN",
since it joined Virgo and Leo.
lcm invented a "puckers" explanation?
I'm occasionally amazed at some of the things that proceeded out of his mouth or pen.
This is the man who was in charge of the RESEARCH DEPARTMENT,
don't forget.
Your ABS funds at work.
