Yep.

I know!

Only when it happens twice. Especially if you've already shut it off and started it again.

God, and it can be so embarrassing!

It's never happened to me before. Honest.

It's happened to me before, but only after I had been drinking. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I recommend trying the powder.

What? Nothing happened. I have no idea what you are referrring to. Now, let's get dressed and go get something to eat.

No, but I do hate when it

You can get an ointment for that.

It's not so much when, but where.

I thought you said you'd never bring that up again.

You know what I really hate...

When you can't get an ointment for it

posted by miles 08 February | 17:24

Good. I'm glad it's not just me.

I really hate that post-lunch malaise, that poisonous feeling of time slowing to a crawl, even though just one half of an hour ago it felt possible to achieve any goal.

Well, there's no ointment for it (yet), there's an experimental method. I can mail you the reagents and you can mix your own if you want.

No ointment?!? Blasphemer. You can get an ointment for anything.

Or at least an unguent. Or, if all else fails, a salve.

You, sir, are a quack. Unlike the world-famous Dr. Shmecklegruber, supplier of all my ointments.

Wait, what about a balm? Would a balm work?

posted by Specklet 08 February | 18:27

Clearly, what you're looking for is a tincture.

MANDY:
A balm? What are you giving him a balm for? It might bite him.
WISE MAN #3:
What?
MANDY:
That's a dangerous animal. Quick! Throw it in the trough.
WISE MAN #1:
No, it isn't.
MANDY:
Yes, it is. It's great, big mmm...
WISE MAN #3:
No, no, no. It is an ointment.
MANDY:
Aww, there is an animal called a balm,... or did I dream it?

mike, you're way off. A tinture is liquid, and what you need is something nice and oily.

posted by Specklet 08 February | 19:54

... like a lotion.

For Chrissakes people, An ELIXIR or POTION OR AQUA VITAE or LACHRIMAE CHRISTI is what is obviously in need.

Please meet me at my carvansary.

Guys, what you need is an old school medicinal grease, nothing soothes quite like it.
