Pharmacy instructions have been simplified to 3rd grade levels and are no longer even full sentences....more like steam of consciousness notions.

"Chew and swallow" as if the average patient would chew the pill and keep it in their cheek pouch. Today, I picked up a medicine (no, it wasn't Cialis) that said "Swallow whole". That's all it said.


So I asked the clerk

Me: Do I swallow the whole bottle?

Nice Asian clerk: These instructions.

Me: Right, but my question is what do I swallow whole? The bottle or just one pill?

Nice Asian clerk: <several seconds of processing information then her eyes grow wide...well, wider> Oh, no sir! Just one pill at time!

Me: Oh, thank you. You've been very healpful!

Sounds like my Sister trying to sign up for Obama-care. She didn't understand a paragraph so she called up the help line. They read the paragraph back to her. She told them she could read what it says, she just didn't understand what it meant. So they read it back to her again.

She still believes Obama will straighten everything out if the GOP will just get out of the way.

They've got some at Southwick Fort too but I don't have a towing bar:







Is that a UFO coming down to pick up the 25lber?

Maybe it would be nice of the guys with the skinny necks to drop the piece off at your place on their way back to the Andromeda galaxy?

Will Obama personally read the paragraph back to her? He does have a nice speaking voice.

I am starting to get that old invasionus interruptis pain again. We are on haitus as one of the Imperar High Command has signed on to cook for Lief Ericson for 2 weeks on a trip to Vineland.

Maybe Admiral Lord Sprior has some more bird or machines of war pictures.

Oh

ooh
I miss my Japanese boy.

People ask about him every day

Don't know what to tell them
what can I say? Oh oh

If only he would write me or call
A word of explanation
that's all.
It would stop me climbing the wall

But anyway if you're a serious naval buff you might be interested in this https://support.nmrn.org.uk/the-anglo-german-naval-arms-race-and-the-first-world-war-at-sea

Norman Friedman and NAM Rodger are the keynote speakers. All this plus dinner on the Victory for £100? F@$£ yes! Sign up. Now. You can sleep at my place for the 3 days. Really.
