forget the aspirin, Blanch, just dunk your head in a five gallon bucket three times and pull it out twice.

…or the ones from the guy selling them down on the street corner?

Take two baby aspirin…../s

She’s been listening to too many shills!

But do you know?

I would trust the 9 out of 10 doctors or the ten leading laboratories before the government panel or the universities.

Doc, there’s a pill for that.

When I was 11 I had a bad asthma attack and my inhaler wasn’t stopping it. I called my mom at work. I heard her manager in the background saying she would be fire if she left. (This was in ‘81, so no real rights.) I told her I was feeling better. When she came home I was unconscious. I woke up in the ER. I was hospitalized for 8 days. The d*ck told her to give me a couple of aspirin and a swift kick in the azz and I would feel better. I honestly don’t remember what happened with that job, but I know she worked at 3 different restaurants while we lived there. I’m guessing one was because she quit.

well, take two aspirin….

And, don’t forget to read all the warnings and counter-indications and the rest of the small print.,

The ones that recycle an old pop tune as an advertising jingle, show laughing, happy people enjoying life, and have a voice in the background rapidly reciting all the possible side effects.

I bet you’re sorry you gave her advice…

I always heard it was take two shots and call me IF that doesn’t work. never knew if the Doc meant lead or morphine.

Take an aspirin, Doc…but which one?!

Old Joke:Doc tells patient to take one pill with a glass of water after a hot bath every night.

A week later Doc calls patient and asks if he has been taking his medicine.

Patient replies: “No, I can never finish drinking the hot bath”.

Excedrin headache?

The first and last panel show Blanch sitting on a stool giving her the effect of having extra legs. Could she be the ugliest centaur ever?

Can identify with the doc. Back when TV had endless headache relief commercials.
