    > when a commercial for Pepto-Bismol came on, and the guy said "Do you

    > in a hurry!! :P   
      
    GP> So your answer was "yes. Yes I do mind. . . Shut up!"   
      
     There is a show out there with "The Stool Squad", talking about every   
   bowel issue imaginable.   
      
    GP> Goofy now is Pepto Bismal trying to make diarrhea & indigestion sexy. .   
      
     "When you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea..."   
      
     Now, you'll have that resonating in your head all day.    
      
    GP> I cut out soda for a couple years, but my kidney stones continuyed the   
    GP> same rate (2-3 big ones a year) so now I'll have the occasional Coke   
    GP> for a quick wake-me-up (I can down the Coke faster than a coffee)   
      
     Arkansas and Tennessee have been called "the kidney stone belt", as more   
   kidney stones have been reported in these 2 states than anywhere else. They   
   think it's the limestone in the groundwater that's to blame.   
      
    GP> So what was it?   
      
     Epididymitis, and a urinary tract infection.   
      
    GP> As the saying goes, after 50, never pass a bathroom & never trust a   
    GP> fart!   
      
     Farts are ghosts of the things we ate...and an audio test of our body's   
   waste disposal system. :P   
      
    GP> I saw a new waitress pocketing tips that weren't hers. I told my boss   
    GP> quietly. He waited an hour then fired her.   
      
     Good for him. I'll bet she denied it, and was arguing about it, demanding   
   to know who snitched on her.   
      
    GP> We already have in Canada.  But it's rounded to the nearest 5c, not   
    GP> only upwards.   
      
     It's only a matter of time before it gets here.   
      
    GP> Pennies(old ones now) are stil llegal tendere, but stores don't give   
    GP> them out in change.   
      
     Or "due to a coin shortage, we prefer you pay with a credit or debit card".   
      
    GP> No such thing.  Better at McDonalds where soda refills are free.   
      
     Years ago, when there was a beverage tax, all the restaurants stopped   
   giving free refills, and deactivated the drink machines in the lobby.   
      
    GP> Senior buddy(RIP) of mine preferred "Measure thrice, cut once" just to   
    GP> be extra extra sure.   
      
     Never hurts.
