  5. Tramiest- I think you meant Jackie Mason (grin)-Mason Reese was a very round child actor in the late 60's/early 70's.

    (oh my....the verification is oickyalt- it sounds yiddish!)

  6. kath8562- No, I meant Mason Reese. The "It tastes like a borgasmord" kid from all those early 70s commercials for Underwood Deviled Ham and Dunkin Donut Munchkins and Thick and Frosty Shakes and other such khazerai. Specifically, I'm imagining a TV commercial for pharmaceuticals, where a cute gnome-like little kid with a high voice and a slight lisp says something adorable like "These pills make me feel undizzy" while the crawl text mentions all the potential side effects. "So ask youw doctow if hewoin is wight fow you!!!"

  8. We had a good patient quote in the pharmacy today...."Will the vasoline I put on my lips as chapstick make me test positive for Meth on my drug test?" Asked with a straight face, and hopefulness....
