Badgie [sometimes called Boo-boo] his comfort blanket. It's very worn now, but under hypnosis he once confessed that rubbing
Badgie's satin edging against one cheek while sucking two fingers gave him an ineffable reassurance. I was only when Marv Nicholson took over as his trip director and, unknowingly, did not place
Badgie under patient's pillow on a trip to South Africa for Mandela's funeral, that forced patient go cold turkey into
Badgie withdrawal. I have suggested that patient reactivate the habit as a harmless way of relieving tension and anxiety. I have had a word with Marv Nicholson to ensure
Badgie One and patient's emergency
Badgie Two are always at hand on Air Force One and in The Beast [the Presidential Limo] along with the container of hand sanitizer patient applies generously to himself after gripping the hands of the common herd. ---
