Spider Soup and Other Mysteries

         Some years ago when I had both the runs and the vomits and missed Christmas with the family because of it, after my trip to the emergency room the doctor recommended that I drink flat coke to avoid becoming dehydrated. Some peopel do have an adverse reactino to coke, as some people, somewhere, wil lhave an adverse reaction to something or another in their lives: but it did actually help me back then.
         And no, I hadn't been eating Campbell's Spider Soup/ (You remember those old Mad Magazine things, one year back in the '60s they parodied the soup can labels, and of course Joe and Ed put that one on a can of Campbell's and asked me if I wanted to try it. XP I knew it wasn't really spider soup but if it had been lima beans, well, ick.
