Terrific analogy ashadd, thanks!

What’s it like at the other end, dare I ask? Do you get followed by cats while out on delivery?

On a more serious note though, do they help with the creakin’ joints?

Yes mate, cod liver oil certainly helps with the aching joints, especially with the knees.
I've never taken the capsules though, i swig it out of the bottle .. :Very Happy

To repair and prevent damage to cartilage (in spine and knees) take glucosamine sulphate. Experimentally proven to rebuild and strengthen cartiladge.

btw Pinky you can overdose on Vit A with CLO it has high concentrations so beware!

There's the joke isn't there...

A penguin has his car taken to the garage after it broke down and the mechanic told the penguin to come back in an hour when he'd had a look at it properly.

The penguin goes into town to have a mooch around the shops and decides to buy himself an icecream. Of course, having no opposable thumbs, he can't hold it properly, and gets icecream all over himself.

He duly goes back to the garage after an hour and the mechanic tells him "It looks like you've blown a seal". The penguin protests "No, honestly, it's just icecream!!!"

Anyhoo...

I take glucosamine with fish oil capsules for my creaky joints and I have to say, I don't have fishy breath (or anything else) and they don't make my burp. I also make sure that I don't take anything with 100% RDA of vitamins A,D or E as they are fat soluble and the body can't get rid of them as easily, leading to overdose complications.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?
