Cough medicine for the kid.

Mom used to mix a little sloe gin with our milk when I was
a kid. Worked like a charm.



Were you in an airplane?

Cough medicines generally suppress respiration and mask the symptoms

of
hypoxia, as well as increasing susceptibility to hypoxia a great

deal.
Combine that with alcochol and the risks are even greater.


Don't make me sorry that I called Bertie a troll.


Why would you be sorry? I'm a trol and proud of it.
As far as I know, the only troll to make it into two parliaments and a
Wikepedia.
