Ah, fun with laxatives. Hilarity ensues <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

"On pain of severe nagging."<br><br>Yeah, that sounds about right. Quite humour-inducing, indeed.

Remember, don't try this at home.<br><br>Where'd "Folgers" come from? I know it translates as coffee to a lot of people, but it is more of a Midwest US institution. Just interesting, coming from an author who hails from Starbucks-land.<br><br><br><br>

Man, did I read that one to early in the morning<br>I could not recall what "Folgers" was and I was thinking Guilt was guilty, but I'm up now.<br>Funny strip!!

I see no one remembers the commercials where "we secretly replaced the normal coffee served with Folger's crystals...let's see if they can tell the difference". (Gawd...I'm showing my age, aren't I?)<br><br>Anyways, glad to see the NA back in action again! Though...isn't putting laxative in coffee kinda redundant?

...nnnnnope! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[GhostWay]

Well, coffee is only a mild laxative. Putting an actual laxative in there would only enhance it, really.

[VisibilityMissing]

Just think, enhanced laxative <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[GhostWay]

Mmm.... laxativesss...<br><br>Sorry. Was I drooling?<br><br>Er, nevermind.

[Henohenomoheji]

Coffee's a laxative?<br><br>Huh. Learn something new every day.<br><br>

In the village stores and the bush order catalogs, you could buy it in 15 pound (7 kg) tins. If you were ordering it, it came in cartons of 6 tins . . . a lot of cheap coffee.
