MAY GET DIZZY, DON'T GET PREGNANT

After picking up my refills I mentally calculated how often I've been to that pharmacy. More times than my years of age. Which is not suprising, as I've had every praescription since I first stumbled into the clinic filled upstairs. So it isn't that suprising that they recognize my voice over the phone when I call for refills, and know my name. Though it is pleasing that they couple the honorific sin saang (先生 "Mr.") to my surname.
I am more used to thinking myself as 老鬼。
It sounds younger, you know.


A ninety day supply of three medications means tonnes of fine print warnings and cautionary statements which I discard. Could cause dizziness, might impair operating a moter vehicle or machinery, alcohol could amplify certain symptoms, and for crapssake don't get pregnant while taking this. Or consult your doctor. Given that I am male, and beyond childbearing age, I don't see how talking to my doctor would make any difference as far as getting pregant is concerned.


"We all agree that Stan (Loretta) has the right to get pregnant, but where is the baby going to gestate? In a box?
It's symbolic of a struggle with reality!"


Far be it from me to struggle with reality.
It sometimes gets away from me, though.

All things considered, it's probably a good thing that I don't drive. My patience with the other idiots on the road would be flinter-thin, and rather than road rage, I would engage in road-surreality. Imagine a dash-mounted megaphone screaming "you are all oranges!" while the vehicle careens wildly. I'd explain to the officer that I was taking Amlodipine Besylate, which "may cause dizziness" and "impair the ability to operate a vehicle, vessel, or heavy machinery. To say nothing of a Caterpillar Earth Mover, or snow plow.

Broadway and Stockton is probably not the place for that.
Too many "oranges" there, moving slowly.
