Thank God For Ambien

god-and-ambien21-copy.jpg

It’s two in the morning and so far I’ve swigged half a bottle of Robitussin and popped enough Sudafed to start a meth lab, and still I can’t breathe. And to make matters worse, all I want to do is sleep but everytime I close my eyes I think of that damn second grade school teacher who invented Airborne.

Airborne is an herbal formula that is supposed to boost your immune system and help your body combat germs. According to the label, it was invented by a former second grade school teacher who was constantly exposed to germs in the classroom.

All I know is that when I was in the second grade, I learned how to polish rocks and spell words like “cheese.” Needless to say, I don’t think that it takes a superior intellect to teach a room full of seven year olds.

Which is why I find it hard to believe that this teacher invented a magic pill that could keep me from getting sick. Of course, I say that after I spent the last month pounding giant glasses of fizzy yellow water.

Now I could stay up all night berating my own stupidity, but thank god for Ambien. In two minutes, I’ll be fast asleep forgetting that I was ever sick to begin with. Truly a magic pill.

  1. I read about you being sick, but I take offense to your remark ~>All I know is that when I was in the second grade, I learned how to polish rocks and spell words like “cheese.” Needless to say, I don’t think that it takes a superior intellect to teach a room full of seven year olds.

    Well, it does take a superior person to teach children at any age. If it was so simple then anyone and everyone would be teaching. So you have some children and you want their teacher to be stupid?

    Think about it.

    Thanks. Hope you feel better.

  2. I do believe it takes a superior person to be a teacher. It is a selfless profession and I admire anyone who chooses it as a career path.

    Now that being said — Airborne is the number one selling herbal product designed to keep people from getting sick. I personally have bought and used it several times. But there’s no real proof that it works. And the Airborne company isn’t required by law to prove that it works. Vitamin and Herbal companies are allowed to make any claim they want and it’s up to the FDA to prove them wrong. Meanwhile people like me buy the product, use it and hope for the best.

    Where as Ambien and other pharmaceutical drugs go through intensive tests and clinical trials to insure that the product is actually effective. 99% of the time Ambien will put a person to sleep.

    The same can not be said for Airborne. People who take Airborne will still get sick.

    My problem was not with teachers, but with the fact that I bought into the idea that a teacher created a miracle pill.
