I told him he ought to put a bottle of RISLONE, the yellow bottle, into his car's motor. "Pour it in where you fill the oil," I said. I highly recommend this product.
I don't know if it was the lousy cell-phone connection or what. But he bought and put in a bottle of RONSONOL, the yellow bottle. He had kept saying, "The one that starts with "R" right? With the Ohs and the L and the S and N." I thought he was just making fun of the name, or like I said, the bad connection.
As you may have predicted, here was the result:
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, really. I tried to take about ten dollars worth of flowers to him, but there are no flowers allowed in the Intensive Care Unit. So I gave them to my wife. She loved them, since it was the most I had ever spent on flowers for her ever since the wedding. (At least all at one time, since I'm pretty sure I have gotten the $3 single red rose for her at least a couple of times in the last 23 years, and maybe the pretty little tiny rose in the glass tube at the gas station counter a couple of times).
But somebody told me ten dollars worth of flowers, under the circumstances, just doesn't really meet my obligation to the guy. So I ask you, how much should I spend on flowers?
