   I'm thankful for pharmaceuticals that work, but some   
   of the things they advertise on TV sound dangerous,   
   especially when they get to the part where they   
   announce that death may be one possible side effect.   
   Then they say "talk to your doctor about" the drug   
   they're advertising, and I say, "No, thank you."
