Some of you will know how, um, alternative I like to be with remedies when I'm sick. And by "alternative" I of course mean certifiably insane. It's true that I sometimes take showers alternating scalding hot with freezing cold water (i.e. hydro therapy) to try and jump-start my immune system. It's also true that I drink herbal sludge concoctions steeped in alcohol (i.e. tinctures) to kick a cold. And I've even been known to pay people to turn my back into one gigantic hickey (i.e. cupping) to find pain relief. So my latest delve into insanity should come as no surprise.
Imagine a bubbling brew of water, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, salt and tons of honey. Then imagine putting that spicy sour brew in your mouth and gargling. Next imagine spewing said brew all over your bathroom mirror because it's so amazingly awful.
While that scenario alone is enough to buy anyone a ticket to the funny farm, do you think that someone who repeats this scenario numerous times might be a danger to society at large? I have no idea of this Cajun-esque brew will actually kill what I think may be strep throat, but it sure makes for some good blogging.

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
As long as all that stuff works, minus the spewing of course.

I am kind of wondering what it does to the mirror. I assume that the "spewing" also happens each time too. Maybe you should choose another venue for the ritual. Perhaps your soon to be ex job?
