4. someone on du made a comment that maybe if the shots came with bacon...

i think that a pizza-bacon combo might be something to consider; sit and munch on bacon and enjoy a slice of pizza while you wait for fifteen minutes after getting the shot. then take a free pizza home with you.

(full disclosure--i do not eat pork but i know plenty of people do and bacon seems to be their most favored food group)
