We all know that life is not all fun and games. There are periods in each person's life when things never seem to turn out the way they were planned. There are moments of great fear, anxiety or anguish. There are grave events that leave a person changed for the rest of his or her life. And then, more serious than all of these, there is work. This revolting human activity has yet to be eradicated.

Until the time when work is abolished comes, humans need to find ways to cope with this barbaric activity. Sleep is needed on a regular basis in order to maintain the physical well-being of a person; thus, it makes sense to identify, research and develop an activity or technique to restore, maintain and develop mental functions as well.

Recent studies have found that work impairs mental functions in humans; furthermore, prolonged periods of work have been found to have adverse negative effects that can last a lifetime. Still, there is hope for people hard at work - rubbing mint. Our research has showed that regular mint rubbing can greatly improve the quality of life for work-affected individuals.

Unfortunately, one cannot rub mint whenever or wherever he or she desires. Today's society is constructed in such a way that mint rubbing is frowned upon. This is just a sign of human hypocrisy, since all individuals are known to rub mint to some extent. Nevertheless, a quality mint rubbing session requires certain ingredients such as mint to rub, premium gas to burn, or a cat to pull its tail - all of which aren't always readily available.

Since here at mintrubbing.org we strive to meet all the needs of mint rubbers (members or non-members of our association), this month we have launched the emergency mint rubbing service. Are you trapped at the office with no mint in sight? Are you stuck in school with no gas to burn? Worry no more!

The association's emergency vehicles manned by knowldegeable mint rubbing experts are one phone call away. Our response times are among the best in the industry. Each mobile unit is equipped with individual mint rubbing first aid kits that include: freshly harvested mint for rubbing, gas containers for burning gas and a booklet describing basic techniques. Basic service also includes professional assistance from the mint rubbing expert as well as disposal of rubbed mint. Premium service also includes two dogs and leaves for cutting, and a cat for tail pulling. More exotic services and ingredients (i.e. charcoal for rubbing) are available upon request.
