Nuclear Ginger Tea
Jerry, peel 5 or so bulbs of ginger root and put a pot of water on to boil. Slice the peeled ginger into thin slivers and once the water is boiling, throw them in. Let them stew at a boil until the water is colored (it will be a light caramel color.) Then let it cool until it won't burn your mouth and drink it hot with fresh lemon juice (optional), honey (optional), or both. Add micarta dust to taste. (Don't really do this; it's just a cheap joke) If your mouth doesn't tingle, it's not strong enough. Great for easing the stuffy head feeling, decongesting you a bit, and numbing your throat (naturally). Ginger has good oxygenating properties, and this is a very good and potent way to take it. It doesn't taste too bad either.
By the way, have any of your doctors suggested using comfrey and glucosamine on your left hand? I would. Even if you're surrounded by skeptics, what have you got to loose?
Now get better! Every new Busse knife that ships out is potentially destined to save someone's life!
And all God's Busse equipped soldiers said AMEN.

I DO NOT CHOOSE TO BE A COMMON MAN
"It is my right to be uncommon...if I can; I seek opportunity...not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stole calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say,
This I have done, and this is what it means to be an American."
