Stupid Human Tricks

Here's a new one: Guy with a bad sinus infection decides to treat it
himself. Buys blister packs of penicillin and other antibiotics -- not at a
drugstore but at a pet store. Takes medicines formulated for fish that don't
require a prescription. Gets worse. Breaks down and goes to a clinic. For
humans.
