Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for May 27, 2012

’bout right.

if the disease don’t kill ya, the meds will

It’s not the cough that carries you off, it’s the coffin , they carry you off in!

Favorite side effects listed on med box: Coma , death.

Favorite side effect from Jeff Foxworthy, low credit score rating.

nothin’ a cigarette won’t cure

Running out of things they can cure, and selling more meds than ever. And I’m glad of what they can do.

I love the side effect warning concerning a 4 hr erection. I think this was deliberately designed to get guys to BUY the product. It’s called the Wishful Thinking side effect.

Every time i hear the side effects disclaimers i think… “I’ve already got all those, why should I take their drug?”

My favorite side effect was for the yellow toenail problem. Lymphoma. Think I’ll just live with gross looking toenails, thanks.

@ cepi89 – Try hitting them twice a day with essential oil of lavender for a couple of years – seems to be keeping mine at bay, and if it’s not, well, I have the best smelling feet on the continent! lol!

Shoe needs to go with e-cigs. Have your cake and eat it too, with or without nicotine. Say good bye to ashtrays, lighters, holes scorched in clothing, The Cough – and way cheaper than tobacco. Oh, yeah, tastes better, too -

Go vapers!!!

Those disclaimers are put on there more because of everybody being lawsuit happy these days. Most of those side effects you have a one in a bazillion chance of getting.

I often think of the “News Radio” episode where Phil Hartman/Bill McNeil starts using nicotine patches. He figures if one works, why not two, then he ends up putting them all over his body. It was hilarious.

And since I don’t know how to do the link thing, maybe someone else can put the link up if anyone is interested.

nobody “quits” smoking. either you smoke, or you don’t. make up your mind.

David Brenner once described the list of side effects of a happy-pill med. “All these side effects! No wonder you’re depressed!!”
