Been laidup. Three days ago went
to the Walgreens to get my CoVid shot and the gal recommended I also get the
RSV and Shingle shots.

. . Respiratory . . here’s a humdinger . syncytial . .
. . Easy for you to say
I had to think hard.
Respiratory
syncytial virus vaccine.
Thas a mouthful good thing its an injection rather than a pillyoud choke
on it
Yeah. she laughed You’re right there.
If it were a pill whaflavor ya
think it might be Or woud you prefer
It’s an injection.
If it were a pill woud it be tasty
or taste like assI think medications ought to taste like shit to incentivise us to
maintain our health
Sometimes we get sick.
Infected by someone else
Yes.
Incentivise us to have
incentivised friends
Really?
Kind of a dog chasing its tail
huh
Kind of.
Three shots in a sitting
Yes.
Howd she convince you of tha
She saidinsisted . that’s how they
were doing it at Walgreens.
All in one arm
No.
One each in the arm and the third
in the ass
It’s Walgreens.
Didya ask
Ask?
Take me in the back an give it to
me in the ass
No.
Thas how Id take it In the ass

Awright
So I gotta ask
The gal said thas how Walgreens was doing it three at once
Yes.
Didnt tha seem unlikely
Odd
I thought it was odd.
But she convinced you
She did, well, not convince me,
informed me that’s how they were doing it if someone was having the three
shots, saved them from returning again or againanagain
Makes sense
Made sense to me
So
Did it occur to you tha after
she gave you the injections she went back into the Pharmacy an closing the door
behind herselfleaning against it began laughing quietly gave thumbs up to the staff tha she stuck
another sucker three times theyre having
a contest among themselves maybe a
pumpkin in the offing for Halloween for the winner

pharmacy in any drugstore theyd be WOWed by the idea
