question about pills

[JaBlue]

what's the cotton for? I just opened some OTC sleep aid and there is cotton above all my pills. Why?

[tonypaladino]

It stops them from shaking all around the bottle and breaking while in transit.

[diebitter]

I've always assumed it was to stop them shaking and breaking during transport, and to absorb humidity a little once the seal is broken?

[tonypaladino]

My British Friend,

There is usually a small tube or packet of absorbent that handles the humidity issue.

There is a black joke that has to do with that cotton but I can't remember it correctly.

Craig is on effin FIRE these last few days. I think he's taking too many absorbent pills

Why do they put cotton in medicine bottles?

To remind n*****s what they were brought here for.

I knew the joke since I was a kid (I grew up in Houston and there was a required course in 8th grade called "Race Relations: Why Blacks, Mesicans, and Jewish Can't Get Along".

I am suprised that YOU actually typed the joke though Pfunk.

We don't have that here.

We do get this crunchy sweety or soft chew though. I think it's for being a good patient and finishing up the bottle.

i used to love the taste of childrens chewable tylenol.

They now have Childrens Chewable Oxycontin for really hyper kids. It is grape flavored, but it still tastes pretty gross. If you chew one and then wait about an hour, you can't really taste it anymore.

LMAO!

Is that the first use of this? I think the mod should change his title!

[thatpfunk]

craig,

its a pretty bad joke. i was originally going to put it in white but i concluded that that was dumb. i've heard the joke before and i wouldn't deny that i've heard it.

maybe it was in bad taste, oh well.

I knew it would be posted, I was just more suprised that it was done by you. No biggie.

funk-

that joke isnt at all funny, and i love racist jokes.

[thatpfunk]

Mark,

I was simply responding to siccjay. He said he knew there was a racist joke about it but he couldn't remember it. I think it is pretty average as far as racist jokes go.

Why not call a pharmacy and ask a highly trained professional; assuming said professional can pry themself away from the other pressing matters which demands his/her attention . . .

Snide comment witheld; this one is just too easy besides which I don't want to steal any of Seinfeld's material.

"I am the pharmacist".

"I am a very important and busy man".

"I have to take pills out of these big bottles and put them into little bottles".

"Mother is so proud of my contribution to society's well-being."

[ohnonotthat]

you forgot the two best - tho I'm not sure either are still available.

Aspri-gum

and let's not forget the only thing that made the 70's bearable

Yeah, the 70's seemed fun, so a lude would do the trick. But, we need the synthetic heroin now to make people happy. Most people are upset that there is Childrens Grape Flavored Chewable Oxycontin, because it can be a little addictive, but I think the fact that they try to pass it off as grape flavored is more disturbing. It tastes nothing like grape at all. I don't know how my kid (which is due in 6.5 months) is going to be able to stand the test. I guess we can mix it in with his/her formula.

OMG

I knew they were brought here in chains and sold into forced labor but you're saying they arrived in BOTTLES ?

How many (censored) do you need to shingle a roof ?

- It depends how thin you slice'm.

the version I have heard goes more like

"that guy is so racist he makes black people pick the cotton out of his aspirin bottles"

I think that version is funnier.

[ohnonotthat]

you were serious about the Oxycontin for kids ?

- I REALLY thought there was a punchline coming; guess not.

Ain't progress grand ?

On a much happier note:

If my sarcasm meter is off, I apologize, but as far as I know there is not Oxycontin for kids (yet). But, if they could market it real heavy there would be a lot of unemployed heroin dealers.

Thank you for the congratulations. It is our first addition and we are both very excited (while I am very excited, I am also a nervous wreck; for those who have met me, i am more nervous than usual).

is your kid gonna be crackbaby-esque? The timeframe would seem to suggest so.

Why would you think that? What timeframe? Also, I am not even sure it is my kid, I figure there is a 10% shot that it is mine. My wife promises that she only slept with 9 other people behind my back during this time. But, what can I do, I love her. But, I am willing to gamble. I will know the second he is born: big nose, little prick, and neurotic, he is mine. If it is a girl, well that will be tougher.

craig

p.s. Really, why would you think that the kid would be crack baby-esque?
