Stuffy turned to Coughy
Yes, indeed...my stuffy nose is gone! Here to replace it is the New! and Improved! COUGH!!! Wake yourself up with this chest ripping cough every morning. Or how about at night right when you are going to go to bed, how about a chough to tell the person next to you how much you care for them. Best used during a live performance of your own! Generate both sympathy and distance from your friends and family with your very own New! and Improved! COUGH!

I shouldn't have fallen for that pitch...but for some reason I got it anyway. I was simply overcome with wonder and amazement at how they could have two exclamation points in the middle of a sentence, as if they were two words with different meanings than their exclamation point-less counterparts. And then the word with all caps really got me. That one took me right up to the counter, out the door, and back home all before I realized what I had purchased.

NYFA Softball update: We won again. 29 to 2. If we keep this up we might be in the playoffs....first time ever for this team. I have to hide my COUGH from them so they don't try to buy it from me. Then the team would be really screwed.
