Man that’s one mean looking cat. Bleeb must be taking another day off.

My brother, in many years past, gave me plenty of insight into Pharmaceutical reps. Needless to say, it was quite the racket.

No Bleeb? :(

Plus you can snack on them as you go about your day. It’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.

Let’s hope the cat didn’t eat Bleeb.

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small…

Which explains why the cat looks that way.

Is her name Alice?

Opioid pills and Bleeb had one. So he’s chilling!

Clever idea. I’m thinking it may be way better than people actually eating them. On a “way back” note, I remember a guy doing something similar with AOL CDs back in the day.

Drilling holes through the little pills must have been difficult. She has way to much time on her hands. No blue pills?

Betcha money Bleeb is hiding in Purple Lady’s hair.

Because the pills are hanging so low, the cat had cleared up 2 medical problems. Regretfully, it now had 38 side effects, including “Suicidal Thoughts”.

Bleeb must be sleeping one off, so I’ll bore ya with some more pearls from my Ol’ Grampa.

When I was a kid, I was hanging with my Grampa at the golf course, like I often did. After what seemed like a long day, Grampa said: “We’ll Dobe, we need to start heading back so Grandma doesn’t get mad at us.”

I replied with: “Us?… why would Grandma be mad at me?”… Ol’ Grampa said: “Well, you’re with me… and when she gets mad at me, sometimes it just sorta splashes onto you.”

Now, being a kid, I had to ask: “Was Grandma always mad at you?” He said: “Nope, not until we got married, now, I seem to always be in trouble.“

Now, being a “dumb” kid, I had to ask: “Then why did she marry you?”

He said: “Well, it was during the war, and I was an Army man… and back then many girls married military men. I’d like to think they chose us because we were organized, we were physically fit, we knew how to cook our own food, make our beds… heck, the Army even taught us how to sew. But, I think the main reason the girls liked us… was that we were already used to taking orders! Now let’s go, before she gets mad… and you get “splashed!”

Well…it made sense to me!

Note that she DOES NOT say she used his spare samples to make the strands; she says she “took the samples” and also that she “made those strands.”

I don’t have any prescriptions but the racket reminds me of my brother’s past experience. He related that the drug he was taking did not work and without insurance he could not afford to try something else.

As the doctor pulled open a desk drawer he said, “OK , well let’s try this.” He thought that maybe he should not be part of the guy’s craps game and chucked it after leaving the building.

The only thing most of our family accept are antibiotics and proven vaccines that have been on the market for awhile.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Kitty!!!!!!!!!!! Spit Bleeb out right now! Besides, you don’t know where he’s been! :)

Are those kind of like those candy bead necklaces from childhood? Can you wear one around your neck and nibble on it as needed?

Finally, a depiction of a person actually reserved in chains.

Those aren’t benzene rings!

Hope those are placebos, otherwise there could be side effects.

The cat walking away from the drug duchess is the only symbol of honesty and a sign of intelligent life in this particular scenario.

Don’t leave the cat in there with them!

I haven’t seen hanging beads in a doorway since the 70’s.
