    This is why the FDA is so important. So that:

    1. I don’t have to know what’s in my eye drops.
    2. I don’t put pig semen in my eye without evidence that it will help.

      Jim Pillen, pig fucker and governor of Nebraska, has known for a long time that pig semen cures cancer. On account of how much pig semen he has had on and in his body, and on account of how little cancer he’s had.

        That’s specious reasoning, Sippy. By that logic I could claim this rock cures cancer.

        Yep, some people say MAGA doesnt advance science or medicine, but here is documented proof that it does. And its not only results from the barnyard-animal-fucking trials-- Wait till you see the results from the cousin-fucking, child-fucking, and couch-fucking studies going on. All kinds of stuff coming your way. You wont believe it.

      There’s a nootropic that’s made out of contents of horse stomachs, and the mechanism of its workings isn’t quite known. Likewise, I’m baffled as to the process of the discovery.

    I know we have to deliver it with something but did it have to be pig semen?

    Scientists: Well it probably doesn’t HAVE to be I guess…

        People: “I was thinking no semen?” Scientists: “huh… Now that you mention it, I guess we could turn it into a virus and have it grow into pustules that will vaccinate others around you when they pop” People: “what semen options do I have again?”

    I think it’s important to know what the delivery method is. Are we talking a dropper, or you know, something else.

        Sure, if you don’t mind sub-optimal freshness. Some people are more refined than that though.
