GEORGETOWN — Across the Island, from the frigid North Cape to the balmy shores of Nine Mile Creek, Island grandmothers agree: when it comes to medical emergencies, a little drink of ginger ale will fix you right up.
Island grandmothers recommend having just a sip or two if you’ve got tummy troubles, or if you feel like you might have some tummy troubles later in the day.
The Price is Right is coming on.

If that doesn’t make you feel better, Island grandmothers suggest getting wrapped up in a nice afghan and curling up in front of the TV, because The Price is Right is coming on.
Should you somehow still not feel right, and if everything else has failed, and you’ve already had a cup of nice, warm, flat ginger ale, the next thing to do would be to take a Tylenol. Just one, because you don’t want to get hooked on them, like they saw on that one show about kids using drugs. Just a Tylenol.
Just one. That’s all you need.
After you have a little nap, Island grandmothers suggest having a hard candy to help soothe your throat. A little supper of toast and chicken broth will get you back on your feet in no time.
But remember — start with ginger ale.
