OH. MY. GOD.

I AM NOT TRYING TO GROSS ANYONE OUT, BUT LISTEN UP!!!!

By the time I got to work this morning, I felt something funny all over my face and back. Like a tingling. I am coming apart. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and my lips, eyes and chin are all swollen and I have weird bumps on my back. Kind of like this, but all of them, all at once:
...

I know I am allergic to a lot of things. One of them is sawdust. I walked past a pile of it near the subway. I AM SO PISSED.

I think bob means well, but you're letting yourself in for a world of hurt if you combine hemlock sage and lemon.

I had read about this remedy in the back pages of Hustler, and I tried it once for my whooping cough. I will not relate to you in detail the resulting horror that was visited upon my rectal vault; suffice to say that I could not leave the home undiapered for a fortnight.

Had I been outside and bent over when any of the dozens-daily occurrences of duodenal peristalsis taken place, the effluent (had it been solid, and not foamy) would have reached escape velocity and continued to orbit the Earth to this very day. (At least until it had affixed itself in a gloppy, pea-green haze to a neighboring satellite and proceeded to rust it.)

I recommend a tincture of avocado rind and swan feces simmered in Boone's Farm Wine for 184 minutes, not a second longer and not a second less. Apply via poultice thrice hourly until your eyelids molt and are replaced with scales. The scales will taste like Fritos.

You may eat them and share them with your friends.

Holistically,

Bobo

I know your remedy well and will believe you implicitly henceforth.
However, and in regards to the brew I suggested earlier, a common mistake among the newly initiated holistic practitioners is the source material for the remedies they employ. Hustler magazine, while providing a much needed outlet for sexual expression, political transgression and putrid humor, is not the most reliable source for holistic remedies. Recipes for calming salves do not make good bedfellows with "What crawled up your ass and died?" jokes. Keep yer yank outta the stank.
You must have been using the Hemlock bark when in fact it is the tender upper boughs and budlings that must be boiled with sage root.

Bobo,

Please, I bow down to your knowledge of homeopathic remedies. I appreciate your blending of the old ways and the modern. I never thought about eating those eye scales before! and boone's farm? What innovation!

Please continue to keep us informed. Your knowledge is supremely impressive.

Bob,

you need to settle down. That recipe is NOT from Hustler. Bobo is a genius. You're just jealous.

I am a doctor. Your skin ailment is ringworm. It is not an alergic reaction to hay. Is is transimitable. Get some lotion.

I am the true doctor here. What MM has is most certainly an allergic reaction, but it is more likely a reaction to the robots. I am positive of this.

Ringworm is sexually transmitted by donkeys. Human on human is the only way to go these days. Too many diseases otherwise. consider the chicken ailment. That was caused by human and chicken love. Another example of moral failure. I am a certified doctor so I know this stuff.

Mountain Man said...

anonymous, how is human on chicken love a moral failure? i so strongly disagree. you are a bigot.
