Anyone seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? My husband loves this movie, because "They're just like my family!" There's one important difference, however. My in-laws know that Windex isn't actually a cure all. That's ridiculous. Anyone with a brain can tell you Windex is only good for cleaning glass and killing ants. No, no. The real cure-all, of course, is Vick's VapoRub (be sure to pronounce that as in Spanish).
Yes, VapoRub is good for whatever ails you. Rub it on your chest, back, and feet at the first sign of a cold. They say it stops bug bites from itching. They say you can rub it on your abdomen to stop a stomach ache. They say you can melt a spoonful and drink it as healthful tea. And (get ready) to stop a cough, just dab a little on your anus.
I'll give you a moment to think about that.
I should be clear that I have never tried this remedy, nor do I plan to, so I make no claims about its efficacy. However, I'm all for passing along tips to my friends. Some of you might be suffering from a cough even now, so consider this information a holiday treat from me to you. Enjoy.
lmao, I hadn't heard that one. Maybe it is regional. lol And I have a cough, surely the gripa, but I am not even tempted. But thanks for the Christmas tip!
ReplyDeletewell, I rub tiger balm on my chest when I am sick, and my back, abdomen, and when I have bug bites. So it's not that much different, right?
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine drinking it, however. Or getting it ANYWHERE near my nether regions.
