Designer Drug
Jun. 9th, 2003 08:34 pmI've just had an ACE idea for a designer drug... for some futuristic, Transmetropolitan type scenario:
Dignity.
Like Ecstacy - does exactly what it says on the tin. Taking the the drug induces a strong feeling of rational calmness and the ability to react sensibly and decisively under fire, and approach inescapable problems with resolve and candour.
Of course, the comedown would be three days of sitting around in your pants, drooling and smoking cigarettes, eating ready-meals.
i.e. you become me on a weekday.
However, for those crushing relationship crashes, for interviews, when expecting bad news or simply while running the social gauntlet, just imagine how good it would be to artificially keep your cool no matter what life threw at you!
The ingredients for this drug should be:
* Powdered Brim of Top Hat
* Starch
* Essence of Stiff Upper Lip
* A dash of Common Sense
* A teaspoonful of humility.
However, for irony's sake, the drug should only be effective when administered as a suppository.
ACE!
