  1. Oh, frack. I'm out of horopeca just when my mooles is acting up. I'll have to try the extract of entsp. It works for my Uncle Newt who's a hicaliac.

    I have nothing for the colonoscopy reference. It's just not funny.

  2. Indeed, a medicine so awful in taste - a horror - that it is only given to children who have done something bad - think peccatis, peccata from the Latin mass; or if unfamiliar with that, think of the bar of Lifebuoy soap stuffed in the mouth of Ralphie in the Christmas Story movie.
