Busse Combat Shop Got Whacked By The Flu. . . .

FLEW!! my wife tells me I'm so sick I got'a get better before I can fly again! She took my scotch away!!

I have the answer to your prayers. Here is an old Scottish flu cure recipe. When you have the flu, have a nice, hot whisky. Take a stemmed wine glass, add a measure of whisky, a spoonful of honey, a slice of lemon with half a dozen cloves stuck in it, top up with hot water and stir with a cinnamon stick. Sip and enjoy. Repeat as necessary until the flu is gone or you are mellow and sleepy. It's enough to make you want to have a cold to drink one and gives you an excuse to get your whisky back from your wife.

Slainte,

Rab

I've heard a version of that with 'just a dram' of honey and a sprig of heather rather than cinnamon.

My wife started making me take this stuff: Bolthouse Farms C-Boost. Half a cup every morning with bfst. 700% of my Vitamin C. I haven't been sick in several months even being around sick people. I can't PROVE it's this stuff, but I'm not gonna stop.

It's yummy too. Very thick - almost chewy, but not like super-pulp OJ. I don't think it would go well with scotch tho.

Careful... Too much vitamin C can make you poop like a goose. Not that I would know or anything...
