To All: I picked up the Millennium Bug. The real one, it is a vicious thing that has found a home in the back of my throat. I saw the doctor who said there was nothing he, could do. My girl friend who infected me in the first place came over last night and brought me some orange juice. [I can't believe people really drink unfermented stuff like that.] I drank the damned orange juice and then after going to bed the bug preceded to kick my butt. I couldn't sleep for the pain and every time I swallowed I felt like I should make up a will. This morning I decided to kick this bugs butt for a change. I went to the local market and bought a bottle of Listerine [Cool Mint]. I liked the Cool Mint part it had a nice balm kind of feel to it. The label on the bottle said it killed bad breath germs, gingivitis germs and some other germs I had never heard of. It was exactly what I was looking for. If it could kill something like gingivitis then tearing this sore throat bug a new one would be no problem. Obviously Listerine was going to sterilize my mouth and throat and that was all to the good as far as I was concerned. I poured about an ounce into a glass and swished it around my mouth. It tasted vile, but it was short of where I needed it. I wasn't going to drink it so I decided I needed more of it, and to toss it back into my throat and gargle it. I poured a healthy load of it and tossed my head back and went for it. I got to about the garg stage of gargle. It hit like napalm on my throat. I am not sure at this point if I tried to scream or it was simply a spasm of pain but even more of the stuff got into my throat as I gagged. I did spew the stuff straight up so I looked like a human volcano erupting blue lava. Fortunately my vocal cords were burned badly enough I couldn't scream after I got it out. I would have awakened my neighbors and anyone in a nearby state. I just thrashed around my bathroom clawing at my throat going "UHH! UHH! UHH!" I finally succeeded in getting my mouth under the faucet and poured a straight stream of cold water to the back of my throat. It felt like acid on a raw wound which was a considerable improvement. Eventually I got the pain down to a searing ache. So now I am sitting at my computer, eating amazing amounts of ice cream and only whimpering occasionally. Druss I brought this up because I want people to know you don't have to just take it when a microbe is whipping you. With just a bit on ingenuity on your part, you can do something about it.
