    Gerber announced today a New Product[^] intended to make baby's first weeks of weaning more interesting. Apologies if it doesn't open - my ISP seems to be experimenting with blocking server traffic.:(( "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.

            Reminds me of the time my step father had a hangover. He sent me down to the chemists to get a bottle of Alka Seltzer tablets. Got em home and he cracked open the bottle, popped one out and dropped it in a glass of water. He spent 10 minutes trying to get it to dissolve before he realised it was the plastic filler :) Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net **Paul Watson wrote:**What sense would you most dislike loosing?

              :laugh: Reminds me of a similar story. My cousin is a bit of a party animal and gave his folks a rough time as he grew up. One night he came home in a near catatonic state, his mates leaving him on the stoop for the mom and dad to collect. My aunt was very worried and started grabbing all the meds she could that would help. One of them was an Alka Seltzer like product which she also spent more than 10 minutes trying to crush and dissolve into the water. Thing is, she did manage to crush the first "tablet" and he ended up drinking the whole thing. It turned out to be the tablet that soaks up moisture to keep the real tablets from getting wet. It was about the last thing a dehydrated guy needed to drink. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red. Everything else is just a mistake."

                :laugh::laugh::laugh: Remember the 60's- 70's ads, depicting a bald guy with an obvious hangover, dropping two tablets in a glass of water and saying, "Oh, Alka-Seltzer, please don't fizz..."? Hopefully your stepdad can laugh about it now, but I'm sure it wasn't a bit funny at the time...:-D "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.

                    It was probably the second thing I've received in email that I bothered to print. The little guy's expression is absolutely priceless. Somebody with a whole lot more talent than I have spent a lot of time making it just right. I think I laughed for ten minutes before I could gain enough control to 'Save picture as..."

                            I think we might have had different ads. I don't remember an ad like that (but then, I have a book with me when watching TV, on come the ads I'm reading :) ) Roger Wright wrote: I'm sure it wasn't a bit funny at the time... It was for me :) Speaking as a man who enjoys a wine or seven, I have no sympathy for those afflicted with hangovers. Been there, done that and and I know it's self inflicted. I probably have less sympathy than the army does for someone who shoots themselves in the foot in order to escape the front.

                                  Yep! This verb has other meanings (as "to sheaf" or "to stack") , but "to puke" is probably the most common in the popular language
