Pharmacology

My thanks to my brother for this one:

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer.   It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO. Thought for the day: There is more money spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research.  This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs, huge erections, and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

How well did you do?

What do you mean, you failed? 

Me, too. (And don't try to tell me you passed!)

Pass this on to some brilliant friends so they can feel humbled, too.

Some Facts About Men mostly true, maybe...

The most thoroughly wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed.

If it's attention you want, don't get involved with a
man during the play-off season of any sport.

All men look nerdy in black socks and sandals/tennis shoes.

Men who are going bald often wear baseball caps.

Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not
brave enough to get a bikini wax.

Men don't get cellulite. Most women believe for that
reason alone, God might just be a male.

Men don't feel the urge to get married as quickly as
women do because their clothes all button and zip in
the front. Women's dresses usually button and zip in
the back. Women may need men emotionally and sexually,
but they also need men to help them get dressed easier
and quicker.

When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that
feels tight, she will assume she has gained weight.
When a man tries something from his closet that feels
tight, he will assume the clothing has shrunk.

Men would like monogamy better if it sounded less like
monotony.

Druthers

A blog I read, BrewNSpew issued a challenge in October. Sometimes, I love to procrastinate so I took time to reflect and to think about this challenge. Finally I decided to take on the challenge. I did not do well but I enjoyed the process :-)

The challenge was to write a story or a poem of 5 lines or less, using the word druthers. For those that are not aware of the word, druthers is a defined as a noun, informal; one’s own way, choice, or preference and a noun, slang; wishes, desires, preferred alternatives. So here is my five line poem:

As my life moves on, I discover

That if I could have my druthers

Life would be enjoying the sunset, 

While walking along the Inlet
