There is an electronic billboard next to a car wash on a street corner near my sister Susan and my condo in Stuart, Florida, where the messages change every minute or two. I couldn't help but notice that one of them was for a Salmon Sperm Facial, which at first I thought was a joke. But then I looked it up on the internet (which is guaranteed to be accurate), and it actually exists. Evidently it is an anti-aging skin care treatment which Hollywood types like Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian are adding to their skin care routines. First of all, I wonder how the hell someone discovered this miracle treatment in the first place? Although perhaps I don't want to know. This advertisement (one of three) is for Albany Aesthetics, an "all in one beauty lounge, boutique, and surgery center" located a few blocks south of that billboard. But is this really a popular thing or is it just a new fad for the rich and bored and brainless. If someone walked into a beauty parlor in my old stomping ground on the South Side of Chicago and requested a Salmon Sperm Facial, would you actually get one or would they just keep you occupied until the mental health professionals arrived? So many questions, so few answers. Just like Trump's damnable tariffs.
