I was reading the bird poo thread ( all i can remember is that it felt so warm). and it reminded me of my holiday, I sometimes suffer a trapped nerve in my neck, it usually occurs when I'm diving in the pool, I got prescribed Deflocain, which is just an inflammatory and always eases any discomfort. Well the inevitable happened. So I started taking a few tablets, with no effect I took a few more, as I was in a bit of pain, I took a few more. When the card ran out I asked the wife where the rest of them were, " there all in the box"
What box? There was no box, On closer inspection I had only just taken all the Diacalm,
Needless to say I never went all week.........

The moral of this story: Just because it starts with the same letter doesn't mean its the same thing.

Anybody else got a story?

A buddy from work had the diarrhea for a few days. Frustrated he asked me what he should take. He told me that he'd been taking fiber to try firm things up. I asked him what he meant by taking fiber and he said "metamucil". I was almost in tears when I told him as far as I knew metamucil was a fiber laxative and that it had probably been the cause of his diarrhea. He said that would explain it since the more he took the worse it got.
