George,

 > when a commercial for Pepto-Bismol came on, and the guy said "Do you
 > mind if I talk to you about............diarrhea??". My appetite vanished
 > in a hurry!! :P

 GP> So your answer was "yes. Yes I do mind. . . Shut up!"

  There is a show out there with "The Stool Squad", talking about every
bowel issue imaginable.

 GP> Goofy now is Pepto Bismal trying to make diarrhea & indigestion sexy. .

  "When you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea..."

  Now, you'll have that resonating in your head all day. <G>

 GP> I cut out soda for a couple years, but my kidney stones continuyed the
 GP> same rate (2-3 big ones a year) so now I'll have the occasional Coke
 GP> for a quick wake-me-up (I can down the Coke faster than a coffee)

  Arkansas and Tennessee have been called "the kidney stone belt", as more
kidney stones have been reported in these 2 states than anywhere else. They
think it's the limestone in the groundwater that's to blame.

 GP> So what was it?

  Epididymitis, and a urinary tract infection.

 GP> As the saying goes, after 50, never pass a bathroom & never trust a
 GP> fart!

  Farts are ghosts of the things we ate...and an audio test of our body's
waste disposal system. :P

 GP> I saw a new waitress pocketing tips that weren't hers. I told my boss
 GP> quietly. He waited an hour then fired her.

  Good for him. I'll bet she denied it, and was arguing about it, demanding
to know who snitched on her.

 GP> We already have in Canada.  But it's rounded to the nearest 5c, not
 GP> only upwards.

  It's only a matter of time before it gets here.

 GP> Pennies(old ones now) are stil llegal tendere, but stores don't give
 GP> them out in change.

  Or "due to a coin shortage, we prefer you pay with a credit or debit card".

 GP> No such thing.  Better at McDonalds where soda refills are free.

  Years ago, when there was a beverage tax, all the restaurants stopped
giving free refills, and deactivated the drink machines in the lobby.

 GP> Senior buddy(RIP) of mine preferred "Measure thrice, cut once" just to
 GP> be extra extra sure.

  Never hurts.

Daryl
