    I guess those happy pills are just like Lay’s potato chips, can’t have just one. At least those of us out there with addictive personalities such as rat would likely push the envelope…..

    Luckily for Rat they were homeopathic. He’ll be fine unless someone shakes him vigorously. You don’t want to undergo succussion when you’re full of sugar pills.

    I was on anti-depressants once. One outside, I was “wired” happy with a smile on my face; on the inside, I was crying. THAT’s what it’s like being on happy pills.

    Just a couple of those happy pills would put Rat on Alpha Centauri. A whole bottle, and he’ll be in another galaxy, at another time.

    Reminds me of a (very) old Katzenjammer Kids comic, where one character is taking a diet drink and decides he can lose all the weight at once if he drinks what amounts to several cases of it.

    Rat, the guiding principle of your life has always been “I grouse, therefore I am.” You can’t afford to be happy; you’ll lose your identity.
