I Am Now Taking Women’s Vitamins
Last weekend my mom presented me with some new vitamins to take. “They’re chewable,” she explained. She’s been trying to get me to keep taking vitamins ever since I left for Tech nine years ago, so I didn’t think much of it until Glenn said, “Aren’t those for women?” Looking a little closer at the box, I realized my mom had cut out a portion of the box that identified it as being “for women.”
So I’m taking women’s vitamins. Once daily. I usually have one in the morning — a little individually wrapped block of chocolate/carmel for breakfast. I haven’t yet noticed any direct impact on my life, and I don’t believe they contain any estrogen, but I’ll keep you all posted on any developments.

As I peer into my crystal ball, I am seeing an 1128 blog, dateline August 7th, 2006 entitled “I Am Now Adopting a New Lifestyle”. As a friend, I can do nothing but support your decision to continue taking a product specifically designed for a female’s biological structure. As a matter of fact, I salute you. ¡Viva la Revolucion!

Thank you, Mike and Brooke, for your support. I must say… they’re actually pretty tasty.

Consider it an expression of your metrosexuality ;-)

Since you began taking these, have you felt more in touch with your feminine side?
And didn’t the little cut out section of the container give you at least a little pause? :-)

Granted, my support comes at a price. From this day forward, I will no longer refer to you as Adam. You will now be known as Beatrice, or just Bea.

Like a …menopause?

And would such a “pause” be a development that we* would be kept posted on? Or would such a pause really be an anti-development? So many questions.
And Mike is on his own: as a friend, I am now left with no recourse but to whop your enTIRE ass. Women’s vitamins, indeed. If you can reign this latest vice in, there might be a new tub of these in your future. Consider it a late groomsman’s gift.

Don’t take any crap from these cretins, Adam! I’ve been taking canine vitamins for the past year and other than the need I feel to pee on everything and chase cars, I couldn’t feel better! I’m sure you’ll also experience no ill effects.
