So I'm sick, and yesterday went to the Medac.

The Doc quickly rules out a bacterial infection, and says I have the flu. But it is after 18 hours, so the medication "Tamiflu" will be ineffective.

She asks if there are other family members. I say yes, my wife. She asks would I like a prescription for my wife, in case I transmit it to her. She says the prescription will be for a "Tamiflu Prophylactic."

Now I'm puzzled. I say something like "Prophylactic?" She said yes.

I said "I don't know Doc, she's not into that so much anymore."

She sorta half smiles and says "It is a prescription for a "prophylaxis", you know, a preventive. "

Oh, okay....

I'll blame it on the fever.

Oh Lord, Scott, you have set yourself up, bud...

Actually, we know what that means. The pain meds that Maggie was prescribed after her hip surgery? Remember us talking about that, why take a pain pill if you're not in pain? Same deal...and my eyes kinda got wide when the nurse said prophlyaxis...

Quote from: "GoneFission"

So which one of you is the blonde? :king: :queen:

So the blonde is at a comedy show, watching the ventriloquist and his dummy telling blonds jokes. She finally gets fed up and stands up, yelling that it's not right to be picking on blonds, to be telling "blonde" jokes, how demeaning it is, etc. The ventriloquist starts to apologize, saying "Maam, I am so sorry..."

The blonde says, "Shut up, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the little guy on your lap!"....

I won't pick on you Scott!Hope you feel better soon!

Yes, feel better.

The Blonde sees that she locked her keys in the car.
She calls the auto club, they tell her there are other calls before her.
She tells them to please hurry, that it looks like rain and she left the convertible top down.

Im here till Friday!

My question would be........

Is Scott's material copyrighted or can anyone use it?

flounderpounder225 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2013, 10:09:45 AM »

you can't be too bad, still crackin jokes with the DOC!! Good one, get well soon. BTW, did you get the flu shot this season? I heard the other day on the radio a commentary about how the flu shot has just become a HUGE money maker for the pharmacutical companies, not nearly as much research goes into it's prep as used to be, and it's effectiveness is highly questionable especially for older folks who it has been pushed at harder than any other group...

The worst thing guys...it went off just like it sounded. I really thought she was saying "prophylactic"

I know I must've turned three shades of red when I finally "got it"

I'm better now, at least I'm back to work. Thanks for the good wishes

Marc, no I didn't. But I will next year, if for nothing else just to know that I did. I can see that it is a huge moneymaker...has to be, its advertised like crazy.

I'm a sitting duck here for whoever walks through the door. The worst is when their rings are too tight, they can't get them off their fingers....so...

They lick their ring finger with their tongue, get their finger good and slobbery...then wiggle the ring off...and hand it to you.

They are so proud...

Makes you want to puke

Scott maybe you can repurpose some of your "special lotion" and have it on your counter for that tight ring use!

Hand sanitizer is something I carry in my truck all the time, and Amy has it on her purse all the time. I was looking at new cell phones one day.... you know playing with all the whistles and bells and even trying some calls on the display phones... I was sick the next day! DUH! Nowadays you have to watch everything you touch since personal hygiene as seemed to go out the window... ATM machines, gas pump keypads, checkout debit card machines etc... Just think of some guy diggin for China right before he pulls up to the ATM... yuck!

WT,
I fully agree. IMHO, keeping your hands clean is you best defense against getting sick/flu. Yes, I continue to drink the KoolAide and get a flu shot but.....

As you stated, with so much interaction between the masses, keeping your mitts clean sure seems to work for me, besides.....

People were dying in mass in hospitals until doctors realized they needed to wash their hands between cutting.

What did Mom always say......

Did you wash your hands???? :x
