Humours

I do not speak of humours that are delightful and result in mirth and joy ("humorous," as it were). I speak of the humours which must be kept in balance in order to enjoy full health. As of late, I have suffered an excess of black bile. Perhaps upon my next visitation to the market, I will pick up some victuals of comfort--such as mint chocolate chip ice cream, which isn't entirely authentic, but then again, neither are Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches--to restore the balance of my humours and to improve my feelings.
