    I don't know. I successfully defeated more than one cold by soaking in
    hot bathtub and then having one or two hot rum toddies with a bit of honey.

    One of my professors used the red toque green toque technique. He put on
    a red toque and drank a bottle of whiskey and when to bed. The next day
    he put on the green toque and drank bottle of rum. He figured that by
    day three there was nothing alive left in his body.

    This is incorrect. Lukashenko, the dictator of white russia, cured Corona
    with vodka, saunas and ice hockey.

    I think if anyone knows how it works, it would be Lukashenko.

    I'm sick, but don't have a fever, so I fried up wings, and made popcorn drenched with butter, and had beer with it. If I have to feel bad, I might as well enjoy it.
