Assal horizontology?

Post by Peregrin Toker »

In an episode of "The Simpsons", I heard Dr. Nick say:
Now there are many options available for dangerously underweighted individuals like yourself. I recommend a slow steady gorging process combined with assal horizontology.
Now, we all know what a gorging process is. But an "assal horizontology??"

Is there such thing??

I have the suspicion that Dr. Nick just was making some pseudo-medical jargon up on the spot to make himself sound more intelligent. (He is, after all, a quack who probably got his "education" from a diploma mill)

But I thought: "Whatifthere is such thing as an assal horizontology"??

And if so, what is it?

I just want to know.

Hey, don't insult Dr. Nick's professionalism! He's a lot more reputable than you think; Dr. Nick got his diploma from the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College!

I don't know about the bribing part but in a flashback we see that Dr. Nick really attended a school and didn't just write away for his degree. The flashback also showed him partying a lot and trying to pick up chicks by telling them he could prescribe drugs. :D

I wouldn't be surprised if that school wasn't the one Dr. Nick ended up getting his medical degree from though. I certainly can picture him bombing out at a real medical school and then doing the diploma mill thing.

He tries to make up for low prices by working in bulk. :D

I also wouldn't be shocked if he was getting kick backs from the coroner or a local undertaker. :twisted:

Of course this is the guy that came up with bonus eruptus and advised transdental electromicide.

But remember his motto "As good as Dr. Hibbert."

And he'll perform any major surgery for only $129.95.

Professional.
