plop, plop, fizz, fizz

I was just thinking about a story a guy I used to work with told me. His name was Joe Black (not that it matters to this story but just to give credit) and the story was about his in-laws. It goes like this:

Joe said his father-in-law had been feeling bad for several days, coming down with a cold or something. He was sitting around one evening, gripping about how bad he felt and his wife finally asked if she could get him some Alka-Seltzer. He said sure, not really thinking it would help but it couldn't hurt. He drank it when she brought it not giving much thought to the fact that it didn't look quiet right and then went to bed. That night he didn't get much sleep, now his stomach was bothering him on top of all the other aches and pains. The next morning his wife brough him another round of Alka-Seltzer, he noticed this one looked like the other one, the fizz didn't look quiet right but he took it any way.

A couple of hours later he was thinking that he was going to die. Stomach rolling, farting and burping, no relief from the other pains he'd been having. He told his wife "Bring me that box of Alka-Seltzer, it must be expired or something, it didn't fizz right and hasn't helped my feelings at all."

She plopped the box down in his lap, he looked it over, found the date, still had a couple of years before it expired. Then he noticed the front of the box, it said "For a brighter, more confident smile, use EFFERDENT"
