Angie: Wife, Veterinarian...Ventriloquist?

FACT:  About 90% of people whose jaws have been wired shut eventually go into ventriloquism as a hobby or even as a career.  You can't make this stuff up, people.  This is from a UCLA study.   Here's proof. 

Researchers at UCLA have released results of a five-year study which indicate that as many as 90 percent of all people who have their jaw wired shut for medical reasons for more than 30 days eventually pursue ventriloquism as a hobby or career.

Almost without exception, people from every walk of life and ethnic descent, when forced to try to communicate with their jaws wired shut, inevitably tend to develop both an aptitude for and interest in ventriloquism," said Dr. Phillip Meyers, lead researcher on the UCLA study. "The inability to move one's mouth when they talk leads to a person developing the same set of communication skills that are essential to ventriloquism. Basically, for every broken jaw that's out there, there's a person whose inner ventriloquist is about to come out, whether people like it or not."
According to the study, of the 62,300 people worldwide who required the stabilization of their lower jaw because of a fracture or other medical necessity between August of 2001 and July of 2006, an astonishing 56,092 reported to have purchased a ventriloquist doll or created their own hand puppet either during or shortly following their recovery.

Angie, I am putting ALL of my chips on you becoming a ventriloquist.  I can feel it in my bones.  And I'm not just playing the 90% odds, though I do like those numbers.  You've got the humor, you've got the spark, and, HELLO, I think we've all gotta agree that your bone structure is begging for spotlights.  I'm going to hedge my bet by saying that you'll make it a hobby rather than career, though I've been wrong before.  Once. I just see no way that 3 months from now you're not going to own a ventriloquism puppet.  I am going all in with my chips.  ALL IN.  ;)
