Morphine Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, and Provocative Clowns
I'm fortunate to share an office with a colleague with who matches me in wit (decide for yourself whether that's a good thing or not), and we have some great free-form conversations on all kinds of topics.
Just two genuine examples from today alone:
K: Can you get addicted to cough mixture?
Me: Probably, there are people who get addicted to stuff like Kaolin and Morphine.
K: You don't see that in the chemists anymore.
Me: Probably because of the morphine.
K: Do you think they used real morphine? I thought it was just the name. Perhaps that's why they got rid of it. The EU probably banned it.
Me: What, you mean like it could only be called morphine if it comes from the Morphine region of France, or something?
And...
K: It says in the paper that this murderer is the biggest prostitute serial killer since the Yorkshire Ripper. Why do they say "prostitute serial killer"? You never see "clown serial killer" or anything like that.
Me: Probably because clowns don't tend to hang around outside at night in the dark. They tend to go home.
K: Yes, but they do dress provocatively!
Me: Well, yeah. Most clowns do look like they need to be punched.
K: There you go then.
Me: I'm just worried about what you have against clowns. I ever hear of a spate of clown murders I'm phoning the police and revealing my suspicions!
...
The days just fly by! :-)

Oddly enough I get a lot of attention and management in attendence whenever I weigh the stuff out ;-)
Where do you work?
Active Ingredients;
Irradiated light kaolin BP
20 %w/v
Morphine Hydrochloride Ph Eur
0.0092 %w/v
However, not to be used in cases of alcoholism - not that I'm suggesting anything ;-)
And, should be used with caution by breastfeeding mothers (which I can confidently assume none of us are)
Never Assume.
Wasn't meaning to sound arsey sorry. :D
I'm at Boots and Nicola is spot on, so much for my memory :-(
Best one is the 96% alcholol, we add various concoctions to stop people drinking themselves into oblivion. The idea is that you throw it up before digesting, not pleasant.
BTW I'm originally from Suffolk and the Cereal Killer joke amused me but then again I fled many years ago.

Yuck.
I think you used to be able to get it to settle so you could 'cream' the morphine off. Don't know if you still can.
