Discussing the possible side effects and costs of upcoming chemo treatment for my husband, my girlfriend remarks, "Oughtta just put him on intravenous heroin; he'll like it better and it's cheaper." I almost wet my pants, so did my husband when I relayed the message. We refer to it often these days. (we don't use illegal substances around here, that's why it was so funny & off the wall)
