Helllllllooooooo


Hellllloooo. Patron. The best cough supppressant EVER.

Patron

hellllooo.

I checked my temperature. 99.5. Still a cold. A cold with pee-puking. I have found if I drink Patron and lie flat with my neck at a particular angle I do not cough. As long as I barely breathe.

On the other hand, the tee-vee has been advertising this shit.

Little

It’s drugs for kids with NO alcohol. No dyes or flavors, but also, strangely, no alcohol.

Now, the whiskey with honey and lemon I had for the croup when I was five was an excellent remedy. The Nyquil when I was pre-pubescent, back when it still had alcohol in it, that was effective.

I say dose those kids with bourbon.

  1. Sorry you’re sick. No fun.
    I accidentally gave my kid Gripe Water when she was a baby. Back in 1990. Only it was Gripe Water from England. Slightly less non-alcoholic than these. She slept well that night.

  2. Candy – Is it “Gripe” like “I have a gripe wioth you” or grippe, like “I suffer from La Grippe?” (Moments later – I looked it up. Gripe! Like “my stomach has a gripe with food.”)
    Hattie – And I have all those things. But I also have Cointreau, and that is better.

  3. Marcia – was that what I had? I seem to recall it was Courvoisier. Of course, could I get that at Trainwreck?

Comment, even if you aren't on WordPress. Make up a name. Fine by me.
