Afrin

I came home from vacation with a head cold. Sneezin’, weezin’, tearin’ up, that kind of cold. Fortunately we have Afrin. The nasal spray. It has nothing to do with Africa; they might have it there, but it doesn’t come from there. So it’s not affected by the tariffs.

As a reminder, don’t have just one Afrin in the house. As Marvin Gaye and Tammie Terrell used to sing, “It Takes Two”. Keep one bottle in your left pocket for your left nostril and one in your right pocket for your right nostril. You don’t want to spread the cold from one nostril to the other. Think of this as the nostril firewall. 

We had a guy in high school who thought that the human body had two independent respiratory systems and that each nostril took in air solely for its side of the respiratory system. 

I’m gonna ask him at the reunion if he carries two Afrins.
