She: “But I took the ibuprofen!”
He: “The question is, where did you take it?”
She: “Ew.”
He: “On second thought, don’t answer that. So the fever hasn’t gone down?”
She: “No.”
He: “No relief from the cramps?”
She: “No.”
He: “Did you at least take a nap?”
She: “I tried, but everything that isn’t too hot or too cold hurts. And when I did doze off, somebody kept waking me up. Which is weird, because I’ve been alone in the house all day.”
He: “Hon, you’re a great cook and all, but you really shouldn’t try to make s’nores in bed. Let me see that bottle, will you?”
She: “OK …”
He: “No wonder!“
She: “What?”
He: “This is a cheap store brand. The ‘not-ready-for-prime-time’ stuff. The ibuamateurfen. We’ve gotta upgrade your pills to the first team …”
In case you haven’t already, go visit Quilly and wish her a speedy recovery.

Wait, if she made s’mores in bed are you sure you want her to get well?

Well what can you expect on Friday 13th? But I hope she’s better already, and that the Ibu-pros know their job!

So now it come out. Melli, Secret Agent for Big Pharma.
In fact, of course, there’s no difference between the brand names and the generics except the advertising, or we’d have gotten the brand names in the first place.

I am somewhat better. The fever is gone but the aches and pains remain.
