Spin doctoring? What are you talking about? I live in Houston. We moved here from San Francisco. We drove - when we got to El Paso my wife thought we were almost there but we were not even half-way. It is a comment on how big Texas is. I don't know if that qualifies as a joke but it's closer than what you posted, whatever you were trying to say...

Hi! Let me know what happened with you! MIND TRICK? (Or not) Have you ever wondered if your mind is normal or different? Well, do this little mind exercise and find out at the end! Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge. Check out the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. There's no trick or surprise. Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can. Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them...really. Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something)........ What is: 1+5 2+4 3+3 4+2 5+1 Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 15 seconds. Then scroll down. QUICK! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then arrow down. Keep going. You're thinking of a carrot, right? If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise. Freaky, huh? Keep this message going. Forward it to people you know and see if they can see if they are all normal. _________________________________________________________________
