Missing Chakra

Ok, I am going to piss somebody off. Probably not a wise idea but Skully had a small second scotch tonight. Pretty small anyway. Just enough to "get him thinking". And I started wondering about my chakra. First, I had no idea what a chakra was. Second, I didn't know if I needed one. So... I looked it up.
Chakra - one of the seven centers of spiritual energy in the human body according to yoga philosophy.
At this point, you are either giggling or nodding your head in "enlightened understanding". This got me thinking some more. Not for long. I gave up. I guess some people do believe in this stuff - and I can prove it because the paid ads on the Google page for the definition were proclaiming miracles on "teeth whitening" and "how to lose belly fat". Now, THIS definitely got me thinking.

1. Assume this is yoga philosophy (that's the definition).
2. Therefore conclude that people engaged in yoga are A) Suffering from belly fat and B) Embarrassed by unsightly dull teeth.

Suddenly, it hit me... this isn't "yoga" philosophy, this is Yogi The Bear Philosophy! Belly fat - definitely a bear. Yellow teeth - bear again. "Seven spiritual centers of the human body - well, bears are known to be a little slow in the thinking department. Of course, Ol Smokey is excluded. He's one fine, handsome and intelligent bear. Wonder what he thinks of "chakra".

I'd track old Yogi down but it's cold outside and the second (small) scotch is running low.
