You know that generic drug names are just nonsense syllables made up by marketing people, right?
I was watching the news one night. Advertisers know who watches: old people, so there are lots of ads for prescription drugs. I commented to my wife that so many of the drug names have three syllables, end with a vowel, preferably the letter "A." Got me thinking. I explore this phenomenon in You Look Good For Your Age. I speculate that if the word "Chewbacca" wasn't already taken, there would be a prescription drug with that name. You'll have to read the book for the punchline. Also discussed: stirring natural peanut butter, a non-partisan look at how Spin Doctors are making politics even worse, the upside of using only 10% of your brain, how to expose impostors who claim to have read your latest book, how as President I would mandate a Federal Law requiring football games to start within one minute of their scheduled time, that kid in school who ate library paste, why "Jim" is a weak computer password, Cryptocurrency, how American Exceptionalism is producing planes on which the doors fall off, why it's impossible to get an appointment with a doctor, how charities threaten you, and many other topics ripped from Today's Headlines! Everybody---All the Experts--are saying this is sure to be a Major Best Seller!!!! When it is released, you better order before the world runs out of paper. If you're an eBook reader, you may see the demand outstripping the power grid. It's going to be that big! Coming Soon: You Look Good For Your Age comments, or suggestions for other prescription drug names: [email protected]
