Hey Dukie, I'm just catchin' up. I'm sorry to hear that you cracked up. I hope you heal up quick.
And thanks for the advice about morphine on an empty stomach. I was kinda thinkin' that mebbe it worked the other way around. While I was working in the E.R., I had to help (as in pull as hard as I could) to get this old gent's shoulder un-dis-located. The doc gave him a good dose of something that pretty well put him out. Unfortunately, it also made him hork. But here's the thing. He horked pretty much an entire can of corn, and nothing else except for, wait for it, a whole toothpick.
