You awaken to the sun shining through your window with your special someone next to you and you know you have early-morning halitosis..not not to mention the fact that your body craves dopamine. And we all know that the bradykinesia will give way to tremors when we try to make it to the bathroom and try in vain to hold the toothpaste tube (more or less squeeze it)....and who feels like stabbing or scraping their gums with a toothbrush first thing in the morning??!" Well now there's Cinn-A-Mint, the new dopamine supplement and breath freshener all-in-one! Just pop a Cinn-A-Mint when you wake up in the morning and you'll be symptom-free and have kissable breath in no time. @Cinn-A-Mint is a product of the Certs-Roche Co, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------ Conversational snippets overheard at latest YOP conference "....and I told the doctor, "I've always considered myself a very impotent person" ....he certainly had a strong handshake for such an old man" ....."is that dyskinesia or are you just glad to see me?" ....."I think she likes me; she's been staring at me all evening!" ......"we take drugs pretty seriously at our house".. ....."hey, looks like somebody got their prescription filled recently!" ........and I said to her, "As long as you're feeling dyskinetic, how 'bout getting started on that butter-churning"? ..........so I asked him, "Why don't we go to your place and you can show me all those child-proof containers you're always talking about?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earth report: A 4.0 earthquake struck the town of Idiopathic, CA at approximately 7:12 AM this morning.
