My observation

February 13th, 2007 by Atomictumor

OK, so I have this big ol’ headache, and I was reaching for a thing of Excedrin (well, off brand, whatever) instead of the usual 800 MG of Ibuprofin I enjoy, because I figured my stomach lining needed a break, and got the last two pills, along with the little plastic thing.

I popped the pills, and chucked the little plastic thing, and in the tiny microcosmic flash that my eye saw the writing on the bottom of it, I read ‘How was your day?’.

“whoa…” I said. So I fished through the garbage can to find the happy little plastic thing that was so interested in my day.

After finding it, in the quarter full garbage can, I found that it said “do not eat”.

Well, screw you too, plastic thingy.

    Poor AT. It’s bad when you’re getting dissed by little plastic thingies… have a better(and headacheless) evening!

  3. Allisone Says:

    So, did you take the pills before - or after the little plastic thingy started talking to you?

  4. sumgirl Says:

    at least the little plastic thing recognized you. ;)

    It could have been worse. It could have said “Eat Me” or “Drink Me” and then you’d be tiny. Or big. Whichever came first.

    One pill makes you larger
    And one pill makes you small
    And the ones that mother gives you
    Don’t do anything at all.
    Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall.

    Maybe someone wanted to know how your day was?

    Conspiracy Theory. They get into your mind that way.

    Jane - funny, I thought the exact same thing when I read it.

    I hear ev’ry mother say
    Mother needs something today to calm her down
    And though she’s not really ill
    There’s a little yellow pill
    She goes running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
    And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
