    "Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.” -Jane Perrone, The Guardian

    COLD COMFORT
    Stricken with a cold, I find that the only time I'm not coughing is when I'm smoking*.
    Therefore I recommend this smoky syrup as a cough suppressant.
    I've yet to gain FDA approval for this cure for the common cold but I consider this a mere formality as I don’t anticipate any regulatory hurdles.

    *Although this could be psychosomatic – a result of the Herculean willpower employed to stifle your cough for a higher good and also to prove to yourself and others that smoking does not aggravate your cough.
    Nonetheless, my cold has curtailed my smoking schedule thus I look forward to making a prompt recovery and a resumption of fulltime smoking ASAP.
