"Never mind"

[gsh]

So I'm suffering through the winter sniffles, probably something I picked up Saturday night, and have the runny nose sore throat thing going. So I steal one of Pam's cough drops since I'm out of the fisherman's friends I usually use. Now cough drops aren't usualy the tastiest things around, but I'm sucking on the cough drop and talking to Pam, and after a few minutes I mention to her that her cough drop just isn't doing it for me. She asks me what kind it is, and since I am not in the same room as the bag, I take the cough drop out of my mouth to show her what kind it is. She looks at the cough drop a moment, then says to me "It helps if you take the paper off."

Oops.

That was so funny that I aimed it to a non-lj friend and she spewed her water all over her keyboard.

I know I have my share of annoying habits, but I can at least laugh at myself. And share when I'm the butt of the joke.

You obviously need the sick day.

And that is a trait I admire about you. :) It's important to share the jokes on you that the universe provides.

I may need it, but I fly to Flagstaff in a few hours for five nights of observing.

So what you really need is a massive dose of decongestants so that you don't die in screaming sinus pain when the plane lands!

they should put the instructions *inside* the wrapper

I can see making the same mistake myself, but not for 'a few minutes'. If I'm gonna suck on something that long, it better taste really good.
