You know, i've used ketoconazole (Nizoral™) for years now - as a shampoo. (Hi, my name is Ursa and i have dandruff.) It used to be prescription, but now it's sold OTC. (Interestingly enough, it used to be a clear reddish pink; now it's a thick Selsun-ish blue.)

Anyway, ever since i learned my drugs and figured out it was an -azole, i've always wondered if there are folks out there who self-medicate. Frankly, i've never really been the mad scientist guinea pig type, but i'm sure there are people out there with internal genitalia and all of the issues that go along with such who've picked up the shampoo bottle and gone "hmmm..."

(Seriously, though, it's not me. I take my ladyparts very seriously, and i'm not about to go slapping home remedies on my virignia.)

That is yucky.

And here is a Puritan Joke (direct from the seminary halls):

There once was a young Puritan man, who had a great deal of difficulty remembering the various rules of conduct in his community. He tried hard, but was constantly being ridiculed because of some breach of etiquette. In desperation, he asked an older man to teach him proper manners. The task was formidable, and the older man's patience grew thin, as he had to repeatedly chastise the younger man for his awkward ways. Finally, on the way into church one Sunday, the younger man started into the building ahead of the older man. He was firmly collared by his elder, who then allowed a lady to go in ahead of both of them.

The young man expressed his regret and the older, losing his temper, screamed, "Canst thou remember nothing? How much easier can it become?"

Pointing out the woman who had just entered, he said, "It is I before Thee, except after She!"
