Caddy | My mother told me to take Spec-T by Squibb, | 0:13 |
helps make swallowing easier. | 0:15 | |
- | Your mother, who's that? | 0:17 |
- | My mother. | 0:18 |
- | Well, my mother had a great remedy. | 0:20 |
Now, what she'd do is this. | 0:21 | |
She got a lemon, and she cut it in half, | 0:22 | |
then brought it and tried to get the juice out of it, | 0:24 | |
and then she'd mix that juice | 0:26 | |
with two tablespoons of glycerin. | 0:27 | |
Your two tablespoons, | 0:28 | |
that's what you call your one ounce. | 0:29 | |
And you take that and you mix it with a glass of honey | 0:30 | |
and drink it right down, really works. | 0:32 | |
- | Well, long would that take? | 0:33 |
- | I don't know, maybe 10 or 12 minutes. | 0:35 |
- | Well, Spec-T works faster than that. | 0:38 |
I'm swallowing better already. | 0:39 | |
- | And if you don't mind, with your permission, | 0:42 |
I'll go ahead and putter. | 0:43 | |
- | I'm sorry (chuckles), go ahead. | 0:44 |
