TP. 112  PILL POPPING

Your A.I. pharmacist has just filled your new prescription ordered by your left ring finger specialist: Dr. Right. Along with the 40-page warning of drug interactions and an encyclopedia of possible side effects, you throw caution to the ceiling fan and down your 5000MG horsepill. It disappears down your gullet with a 14.5 PSI air assist and a quart can of high-octane micro brew. As the pharmaceutical submarine submerges its way towards your stomach under air assist, it gets hung up on the area of the throat where the connection point of the esophagus, which goes to the stomach and the larynx that connects to the lungs, meets. The sub is stuck, and panic fills the thoughts as unobstructed airflow is a priority in human existence.  Luckily, you chugged a 32-ounce beer to apply a column of liquid on top of your pharmaceutical submarine to get it past your choke point. After the pill has cleared the branch that uses a valve to prevent solids or liquids from entering, calm is restored, and you can breathe again. After that point, gravity, a quart column of beer weight, and a section of your DNA that came from snakes to devour prey keep the pill on its path into the acid bath (stomach). A 25-foot-long anaconda snake that consumes a female human being is the ultimate cunniligus. This portion uses muscular contractions to push the energy packet (solid or liquid) into the stomach no matter which way the human is oriented. The wave-like contractions are called peristalsis and ring shaped, muscle valves, called sphinters, keep the package from going backward unless you’re going to puke. Then it’s stand back, retract the sphincters, and let it fly. Once the drug enters the stomach, heat and chemistry release the poisons within and downstream organs get the chemical concoctions into the blood stream and up to the central processing center (brain) where it interferes with logical signals and makes you forget about your ailments. It works!
