Shock To System

[Caran]

While sorting dinner out i had a really bad coughing fit. in desperation i grabbed a nearby bottle of water and took a deep glug. To my horror it was a bottle of olive oil. Never had anything as vile in my mouth before. Took me ages to stop gagging. Hopefully I will learn my lesson and watch what I am doing in the future.

Good job it wasn't Liquid Paraffin or we'd not have seen you for days.

[Caran]

Love that gness, i bet you didnt have toothache for a while though.

[Caran]

Thats interesting Chris, so i might have done myself some good then?

[Caran]

Mamya I remember being dosed with that as a child. Not a good experience.

Mt late Father in Law swallowed a dollop of Germolene every night - where he got the idea from I have no clue.

[Mamyalynne]

No, it's rather erm - explosive.

[ummmm]

One time, in my youth, after a night out I fell asleep on the sofa; woke up and picked up a glass of what I thought was water....it was neat vodka!! :-D

Vaseline is excellent stuff for car battery terminals ya know.
( just thought I'd throw that little gem in, don't eat it though ).

Last time I tried to buy a bottle of Liquid Paraffin I was snootily told, "We don't sell that anymore, it's bad for you".
I replied, "Tell that to my mother and grandmother".

[Smowball]

I've also gone to bed and left a glass of vodka and orange on table, woken up and poured a fresh glass of OJ and yes I've picked up wrong glass

Somewhere in the back of my head i can remember being forcefed with a spoonful of vaseline every night. Mother saying its good for you. Yeuk!!

There used to be an emphasis on being 'regular' when I was young, hence theses preparations. Milk of Magnesia, what was all that about?

Wow, and I thought it was bad that my mother force fed me sprouts and other various Green stuff, and Mother saying it's good for you
( gawd I hated that cabbage water ).

[Caran]

i was made to drink the cabbage water, its good for your complexion.
I could write a book about my mother and her medicinal fetishes.
Dont get me started on Dr Sandersons Throat Specific and goose grease on brown paper under my vest!

Was that supposed to keep coughs and colds away, Caran.
