Mandatory Hearing Tests

The UBP have been calling for mandatory drug testing of MP's for some time now, but evidently there is a more pressing test which should be administered, a hearing test.

First up? Dr. Brown, who evidently only hears praise and adulation, mishearing Charles Gosling who assessed him as a "fascinating character" rather than the "fantastic man" that he heard.

And then there's Michael Scott, the Health Minister who evidently hears things which were never actually said during secret strategy meetings which he attends and takes notes in. The Minister, a lawyer, evidently never heard it said that the Johns Hopkins report was 'devastating' and would be an 'embarrassment to the GOB [Government of Bermuda]' and 'must be managed'. The notes he made? "Grossly inaccurate" and his "personal thoughts". Never happened. Clearly.

Perhaps they could perform the hearing tests while they are being drug tested? Or, on second thought, perhaps they need some drugs to treat them for the voices which they are hearing?
