medicine show

Are you one of those people who snoops around the medicine cabinet when you use the bathroom at somebody else's place? I'm not. It's only been in the last few years that, via an accumulation of anecdotes, I've come to appreciate how common it is. Last night I had about twenty-five people over to the RV, as part of the gauntlet of going-away activities currently underway. Before people arrived, I put the following note on the middle shelf inside my medicine cabinet:



This morning, I opened my medicine cabinet and saw someone had turned it around and written:



(Note to Jeremy Freese Healthwatchers: I do not actually have any kind of "fungal infection", whatever exactly that is, or medicines suggestive thereof.)

Update: Nina has written a post about the party, complete with a couple not exactly flattering photographs of this blogger.

Speaking of 'medicine show', when you get to Harvard Sq., stand in front Nini's and point -- for visiting lawyers' benefit -- across the street, up to the window of 'Dewey. Cheatham and Howe'.
[Countdown is on, and yeah, this note has nothing to do with your medicine chest.]
