remember, the comon cold is a virus, not unlike aids. your body has to "defeat"the virus at the cellular level. cold remedies only treat the symptoms, you must go after the virus. i've found that most anything dies in 122 octane race gas, if you leave it in there long enough. ofcourse the bigger it is,the bigger and deeper the container of race gas you'll need. you just can't "put" somethings in there and leave them to it, like mice, or something, you know, they go easy, but like,...i don't know, you know..an ex-wife, or even a present wife you want to make an ex, well , you gotta hold her head under a bit. ya might even have to whack her in the solarplexis too, you know, to speed the process. but race gas is silly, i'm just making a point, that ya gotta be proactive, like when you see somebody pull out of thier driveway, up the road a bit, knowing they're gonna cut ya off sooner or later, so ya gotta act,NOW. you know what i mean, maybe a 2 day old cheese burger as a weapon, not that you'd use a 2 day old cheese burger against your cold, just get some good 100 proof wild turkey, and drink it up.by the time you sober up 3 or 4 days later, cold gone. you're welcome.
