But ladies and gentleman, instead, Manola 180 received a friendly reminder from Dr. Suck Mygupta -- as originally reported on Panderson Pooper 360 -- that love hurts.
REALLY?
In recent years, medical researchers, doctors and scientists seem to have come to the uranimous conclusion that grief over lost love, either by death or jilting, can cause "acute stress cardiomyopathy," even though French troubadors discovered "mon coeur est ouch" centuries ago.
The condition mimics a heart attack; symptoms include chest pain and breathlessness. In the case of jilting, additional symptoms include the desire to throw all his clothes out the balcony in the manner of Italian movies, which is easy in Italy, as clothes are hung out to dry on the balcony anyway.
Some experts disagree about the reversability of broken heart syndrome. Joey Ramone, an expert observer in the field of rock and roll, has often reminded us that "love kills."

Could there actually be people old enough to read this site with intact hearts? At this point, my own pump is held together with duct tape and industrial staples, and still leaks and stutters.
A broken heart, eh?? Funny, lost love usually just gives me explosive diarrhea.
