weathervane n
Sheila was having trouble with a particularly stubborn varicose vein. A friend suggested Dr. Benson. Just in time, Sheila discovered that this vein had the ability to forecast the weather. When it felt cold, the weather would be cold; when it was warm, the weather would be warm, etc. She decided not to have the problem solved becasue she had become so dependent upon her weather vein.
