    Nowadays, the ‘possible’ side effects are worse than what’s being treated ! ! ! ! !

    I am waiting on the commercial for a new drug and the manufacturer tells us who to call for the resulting law suit

    Headaches, headaches.Aspirin commercials give me headaches.Just when I’m feeling chipper as you please,That’s when they show me all my sinus cavities.

    Headaches, headaches.Those sponsors don’t care how my head aches.See that announcer, he looks so fine.His head should ache like mine.

    Headaches, headaches.Those pounding hammers give me headaches.They say it once and then they say again,Oh tension, pressure, pain, oh tension pressure pain.

    Headaches, headaches.Those sponsors love it when my head aches.Mother, don’t hand me those pills from the shelf.I’d rather do it myself.(Mommy, can’t you keep Daddy’s car out of the driveway?!)

    Headaches, headaches.Those sponsors love it when my head aches.There is one remedy that’s unsurpassed.And their commercials give me headaches “fast fast fast”.

    Headaches, headaches.Aspirin commercials give me headaches.Today I swallowed the best cure yet.I ate my TV set.

    ★★★★★ If ALL the medical commercials… tv, print, incl. billboards, radio, etc. were completely stopped for just one year and nothing was promoting sickness and disease, then they would be nearly, maybe completely, obliterated. Sorry Big Pharma but, sometimes the truth hurts.

    I miss Allan Sherman.-His rant against the phone companies changing their description of phone numbers to just plain numbers is hilarious.-Back in the old days, like over 50 years ago, the first two numbers were read off as letters, telling people which district or neighborhood the telephone that had that number came from.-For instance “DE3” was definitely a Denver telephone number, because “333” was one of their prefixes.-Some companies went through greater efforts to match prefix letters to the districts and the neighborhoods-And as more and more people got more and more telephone numbers, it was harder to assign letters to phone numbers, which was made even worse by automating the switchboard at the phone company’s offices.-So in the early-1960s, AT&T, the only phone company at the time with all its subsidiaries embarked on changing people’s thinking on phone numbers to using only numbers and no letters.-And nowadays, most people remember only the numbers in a telephone number, even though some business still incorporate letters into their numbers to spell out specific words as part of their marketing tools.-The fictional number “Klondike-5” that Lucy Ricardo may have dialed on “I Love Lucy” back in the 1950s is still “555”, just that it is no longer called “Klondike-5” anymore, just “555”.

    Heaven forbid that the stiffy lasts more than 4 hours—guys would think that having one last that long would be a good thing.
