Nate: Ugh, my throat’s really sore.
Jenn: Oh, I’m sorry! Let me get you some warm salt water to gargle with.
Nate: Warm salt water? Uhhh, ok.
(Jenn prepares warm salt water)
Jenn: Ok, so just take a gulp, gargle, then spit it out.
(Nate does so then makes the most disgusted look I’ve ever seen! Then spits.)
Nate: Ugh! That’s awful! Why are you making me do this?
Jenn: I know it sucks, but it really does help. The salt water doesn’t kill off the germs, per se, but it makes your throat an inhospitable environment for the growth of bacteria.
Nate: *shiver* Forget bacteria. This is making an inhospitable environment for me.
