  3. "The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted."

    Merchant of Venice, V,1 - Shakespeare

  4. Okay, you can either pay $3.00 for 60 tablets of 81 mg. enteric aspirin off the shelf - or you can ask the pharmacist for some 81 mg. no name brand enteric aspirin and get 120 tablets for $1.35, which would you rather do?

    That's for "the old man" who needs the aspirin and he's right, silk purses cannot be made from pig ears.
