Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin

Peter

So I’m sure many of you have heard about the new wonder drug Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin. It’s a new treatment for both leprosy and SARS available in droplet form. It can be given orally, by IV or as a suppository.

New research suggests it's an effective treatment both for the common cold and trauma due to lightning strikes. It’s been thoroughly tested on animals who unfortunately all died [unpublished study]. Many doctors are now using it as a first line treatment for MI, MS, ME, COPD, HIV, PE and DVT.

Off label uses include reversing impotence and performance enhancement in combat sports. Unfortunately it’s list of common side effects include nausea, vomiting, alopecia, heart attacks, homosexuality, and supernumerary gynecomastia. However it’s excellent cost point has made it popular with NHS GPs. Even for cases of AIDS and pubic lice.

Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin is made from the cerebellar cortex of a genetically modified bison, improves strength and intelligence and is an effective antidote to ricin. The Minister of Health, we hear, will shortly be advising: take Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin!

  • I agree with others in feeling that it's not appropriate to post spoof threads here, of all places.

    Your own enjoyment might come at a much greater expense than you realise (in respect of confusion caused), to more people than you realise. 

    "Avoid using irony, sarcasm, figurative language, rhetorical questions, idioms or exaggeration as autistic people can take these literally. If you do use these, explain what you have said and be clear about what you really mean to say."

    I've litterally applied the humour tag to the post and put a line about it being irony at the end. If people can't figgure out it's sarcastic from that that's not autism that's inatentivness.

    Maybe the confused people are also the people in the habit of not readding things to the end ... in which case more shame on them.

    I, for one, didn't see that until you just flagged it. Nor might many others notice, or even know where to look for, it.

    That's both ableist, and disrespectful to those whose communication difficulties are greater than yours.

    Whether we have comorbid ADHD or not, it can also be common for autistic people to experience difficulties with inattentiveness. I am among them, for example.

    Quite the opposite, in my opinion.
