I was born in the woods, abandoned by my mother and adopted by squirrels. They raised me in shifts and taught me the thrill of petty theft. I often snuck into the nearby village to raid the larders of the peasants. Eventually I was discovered by gypsies. They stole me from the squirrels and taught me to dance and play the tambourine. Soon I was entertaining at various faires and town squares. At least until we were run off by local authoritative bodies. As the years passed I began to tire of the wild and carefree life on the road. I longed to work forty hours a week in an office with fluroescent lighting and irritable coworkers. I stowed away in a steamer ship headed for the new world. Barefoot and penniless, I roamed the streets searching for employment. In the township of Overland I stumbled into a heavily air-conditioned doctor's office. They had an opening. At last, my dream came true. And that, dear children, is how I came to be a Medical Coder.

Hume's Definition of Self Yoinked Unabashedly from "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder:

"...the feeling of having an unalterable ego is a false perception. The perception of the ego is in reality a long chain of simple impressions that you have never experienced simultaneously. It is 'nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed one another with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement,' as Hume expressed it. The mind is 'a kind of theater, where several perceptions successively make their appearance; pass, re-pass, slide away, and mingle in an infinite variety of postures and situations.' Hume pointed out that we have no underlying 'personal identity' beneath or behind these perceptions and feelings which come and go. It is just like the images on a movie screen. They change so rapidly we do not register that the film is made up of single pictures. In reality the pictures are not connected. The film is a collection of instants."
