Remember Harry & Louise?.. Meet Fred and Margie

[SoCalDem]

We could use a commercial like this


Can't you just see this scene..?

setting: hotel room near the Canadian border....


Margie and Fred are anticipating their journey back to Minnesota and are nervously sitting at the little round table next to the drapes, as they use a boxcutters remove the labels from their medicine bottles..

"Darn, mutters Fred..I think I cut my thumb..

"Oh, honey says Margie...Here..put some kleenex on it..

....then they both go back to removing the labels..



at around 2 am, they lay out their traveling clothes for the drive home..

Margie's fingers are tired from sewing all those hems in Fred's pants and her blouse and skirt..


See, they figure that the border people will look in their luggage and her purse, so they open the seams of their clothing, and pour the pills into the hems..then carefully sew them shut again. The awkward part is getting the label and instructions into the hem with the right pills.

Bloody thumb for Fred..Tired eyes & fingers for Margie, they finally turn in at 3 am..

It's always scary on the other end when they dump out the pills.. Did they get the right instructions with the right pills? Does lint damage medicine?
