The mind boggles

The missus and I have been feeling a bit peaky for a couple of days - tired, slightly dizzy, and a bit of a temperature perhaps. Might be the latest edition of covid, for all we know? So this afternoon we received a delivery from Amazon, containing a digital thermometer.

Suitable for oral, underarm or rectal use, the label says. You poke it into the relevant body orifice for 60 seconds, and then it beeps to tell you it's reached a verdict. If it doesn't, you're presumably dead.

But it was the cardboard packaging envelope from Amazon that really caught my eye. Sealed with a damn great warning sticker, showing what seems to be an explosion. And with advice on how to urgently contact emergency agencies with a Global Response Access Code that will bring International Rescue thundering to my door in seconds.

Just what do Amazon think I've got up my rectum? I think we'll settle for the mouth, guys, if it's all the same to you. No point in taking risks.

I'd be using underarm
Do you feel like you have brainfog (not interested in anything, can't concentrate etc)

Werlll, it's the human condition, innit? Unless it's the pinot noir, of course.

So it's booze for medicinal purposes (of course)
