Notes: I first posted this as a bit of a cold-and-Buckley's high on the Ancient Obsessions Yahoo! group, and decided to put it up here for anyone who would like to experience the...oddity that is my mind when sick. As I said on the list, I have no idea how many of you have heard of or have used Buckley's cough medicine, and therefore cannot really appreciate how disgusting it really is. Let me assure you, that it is EXTREMELY disgusting, but as our intrepid hero finds out in this little story, it does in fact work miracles.

"Uh, okay....no."

"Come on, Daniel; just try it!"

"You're out of your mind!"

"And you're acting like a child! It's not gonna kill you!"

"You don't know that; you bought it off some guy on the street!"

"Don't overreact. It was from a pharmacy...and the guy was Canadian. He knows his stuff."

"He was a pusher!"

"'A pusher'? My, aren't we living in the 40's?"

"If you think you can goad me into using that, you're sorely mistaken; you can just stuff it where the sun don't shine."

"Lovely visual for the highly educated. Now come on; you'll feel a lot better!"

"My ass."

"No, not just your ass."

"Jack--"

"Just try it once."

"No."

"If it doesn't work, I'll use the rest myself."

"Use it all yourself; it smells terrible."

"But the aftertaste is minty."

"I'm sure."

"Daniel, you're driving me crazy. There's no way you're not driving yourself crazy too."

"Bite me."

"I'll shove it down your throat."

"Yeah? You go right ahead and try it."

"Here goes."

"Ja--OOF!"

"Open wide!"

"MM!"

.....

*splutter*

"For Christ's sake, just swallow it. Stop crying; it's not that bad!"

"BLLEECCCH! God, you're such an ass! And I'm not crying; it triggers your tear ducts!!"

"Mm-hmm. Right. So...how d'ya feel?"

*sniff* "Actually...."

"Yes...?"

"I can actually breathe through my nose."

"How did it taste?"

"Awful. But it works."
