A Google search failed to return hits that matched my query, so I

emailed my contact in Taiwan tonight to get a brand name and address.

I'll post his reply later if he responds.

 

Whether ot not he responds, I feel that chewing a couple of good quality

Ginseng slices (or drinking a dose of Ginseng powder or standard

extract) would probably work also.

Sounds like your wife and mine might be sisters!

 

BTW, did you hear the one about Pat Murphy, a small farmer and a

hopeless drunk, whose wife went to the local priest for help to scare Pat

off the gargle?

 

One Saturday night, the priest, with a large white sheet beside him, lay

in a ditch near the man's farm, waiting for Pat to return stocious from the

pub (as usual).

 

At about 0200h, the priest heard the muffled sound of unshod hooves

and raucous drunken singing as his target approached on his donkey-

cart. [The ritual was that Pat's drinking buddies would load him onto the

cart after the pub closed, turn the donkey towards home, give him a slap

on the rump; the donkey never failed to arrive safely to the farm].

 

As the cart passed the ditch, the priest, covered in the white sheet,

jumped onto the cart, grabbed Pat by rthe throat and roared at him in his

most menacing voice:

" Murphy, you drunkard, I'm the Divil and I've come for your Immortal

Soul! "

 

Murphy turned towards the priest with a broad grin on his face and

extended his hand towards the priest, saying:

" Bej****s, Ould Nick, shake hands, shake hands! I'm married to your

sister! "

 

 

 

Best regards,
