Radio Shack? Sharper Image?

What I love about those ads is that they usually don’t tell you what the medicine is for. That way, hypochondriacs can assume they need it.

Talk to Killbot. He can probably get you a spleen to trade.

Why does a robot need medication? Is he a cyborg?

A tip for those struggling to afford medication download the good rx app massive savings can be had with that app.

Maybe he can get a pig kidney.

[A modified pig kidney was recently transplanted into a human.]

Maybe my friend Killbot could help out. Would you accept a spleen?

Eh does robot get serious side-effects from medication too?

7 years ago, I had a heart-related incident which among other interventions required a blood thinner. This last December, I had a repeat (didn’t want it), was prescribed the very same blood thinner and was told that a month’s supply was going to cost over $700. Even after I applied my Rx coverage, it came to over $100. At my age, 7 years doesn’t seem so long ago, but I don’t remember the very same thing costing nearly that much!

To paraphrase Scripture, “Greed, greed, everything is greed.”

Sorry, Oldbot, your health plan only covers the use of STP and Valvoline.

Pharmaceutical advertising…. A major reason why media cannot be trusted…

Or an old RAM unit?

The problem with this is, I don’t know if it’s a joke. That sounds like something a pharmaceutical company rep would actually say.

If we cannot afford healthcare in the USA, why do the politicians have full healthcare?

Do they really think their medication is worth a kidney, and that would have to be a one time deal.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so true and Criminally obscene.

No, but I have quite a spleen collection.

Fair exchange. Nice people.
