Reminds me of a patient I had once who woke up from a nice morphine nap, pain free, but dying to tell me he'd had this wonderful vision of the place marshmallow peeps are born, which turned out to be a grassy hillside somewhere where they all live in a rusted out volkswagen, while teletubbies frolic. If it had been a bit darker, it would have been post apocolyptic gang members, wrestlers, and frolicking polar bears.ER Mursenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-26142664024996127332011-02-10T17:59:11.696-05:002011-02-10T17:59:11.696-05:00Ben S, I had the same first thought about the pola...Ben S, I had the same first thought about the polar bear.<br />But i found the association: It sure as hell does hurt to have a polar bear in your eye.

If it's not Mike Knox, it's Mike Knox's beard on some other dude.<br /><br />Therefore, choice B should be World Wrestling Entertainment, not World Championship Wrestling. I think he was released though, which would explain the unfortunate situation of posing for a pain pill. "Not only am I a spokesperson, but I'm also addicted to this drug!"

And, I wouldn't mind if free pens were still available! Although people in other professions think we pharmacists are influenced by the writing on them--we are not the prescribers, anyway. I lost my yellow metal pen with the pink PDA poker, but &#@! if I can remember which company sold the product advertised on it.<br /><br />Seriously, I shivered when I saw #6 as it looks like an overweight Rasputin sitting on the steps of a southern courthouse, and I seem to remember he died (or, rather, his body was 'found' at the bottom of an icy lake in a northern climate --and it was not exactly 'extreme' ice-fishing.
