“Drug Deal”

A medical study on pain relief found that in the first few days after breaking an arm, children responded better to over-the-counter ibuprofen than to acetaminophen with codeine. The hardest part of the study, the doctors said, was breaking all those arms.

There were 244 kids in the study, all of whom owed money to the mob.

The kids on ibuprofen were more likely to play and eat, and had less drowsiness, nausea and other side effects than the kids who got the acetaminophen with codeine. On the other hand, it’s the codeine kids who really know how to party.
