How Acupuncture Works

ACUPUNCTURIST: Lizz, how is the severe motion sickness that I’m treating you for?
LIZZ: Oh, actually little better. But, here’s the thing: I’m not sure this is fully working. See, I ran into one of my enemies the other day and I was like, “What’s up Enemy?! How you feeling? Are you feeling any sharp pains in your sinuses and neck and also in seemingly arbitrary places along your arms and legs??!” and they were like, “No. What are you talking about?”. I think we might need to try a different approach. 
ACUPUNCTURIST: Wait. How do you think acupuncture works? 
LIZZ: Well, from my understanding you stick me full of pins, then leave me alone in a dark room for, like, ever and I use that time to focus on the spilling the blood, blood like a river, of my enemies. 
ACUPUNCTURIST: What? How would that-? Why would you think that?
LIZZ: Uh- because why else would I pay money to get up at the crack of dawn and go to a room where I have to be up to 75% naked with strangers and then the strangers touch me and then they take little tiny spikes and put them directly into my face? Then leave me completely alone with my own thoughts with the spikes in my face in the dark room and don’t come back until I've been alone with my own thoughts to the point of complete mental breakdown and/or a finished a thing I have to remember and write down later?
ACUPUNCTURIST: Ok, well, the reason why we are doing this is that you are trying to treat your motion sickness. So that when you are in a cab with coworkers you don’t feel like... how did you describe is? A balloon overfilled with chunky vomit being gently but firmly squeezed by the hand of God. (pause) But. I see your point so, let me ask you a question: are you not YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY??
LIZZ: Whoa. Whoa. Ok. Well, in that case, it’s totally working. Let’s do this.
