What has Vitamin C gotta do with my post today? Well, I have chosen prompt #4 ("Share a joke that always makes you laugh.") from this week's Writer's Workshop and will explain further in details...
You see, few years ago while I was still working in the IT line, I had the privilege of working in the same place with my best friend, although we were both supporting different subsidiaries, but because we were both in IT department, we were so lucky to be in the same floor and seated on the same cubicle row, just 1 table apart.
So anyway, one day I popped over to her cubicle and offered her one of this:

Just a cute little Vitamin C tablet which I had just taken few seconds before I went over to her place.
To be honest, I am not much of a health freak person, my idea of staying healthy is to take vitamins like this. Exercise? Ermmm... nope... Eating vegetables? Ermm... nope... So yeah, this bottle of Vitamin C has been a daily intake activity of mine during my working days.
I had just managed to tell her "Hey, try this out!" and was about to tell her to pop it into her glass of water first when right in front of my very shocked-till-they-turned-into-gigantic-sized eyes, I see in really-really-really-slow motion... of her taking the vitamin C tablet off my palm and popped it straight into her mouth. I repeat...
Straight - into - her - mouth....
I could only managed a gasp, still stunned at what I have seen when she immediately started putting one of her hand to cover her mouth. I did managed to see the top surface of her tongue started bubbling...

Yeah, you see the bubbling picture above, instead of the water bubbling in the glass, imagine the vitamin C tablet bubbling in her mouth!
Yeapp.... what a memorable mental image... You see, before I could tell her that the tablet is a water soluble type, my friend happily popped it into her mouth thinking it was one of those latest sweets or candies around (I used to have this big basket of candies on my desk for my colleagues to take for free)
So anyway, after a few seconds of rushing to grab some tissue papers for her to spit out the tablet into, we managed to keep the situation under control, of course, throughout the whole incident, we were like laughing non-stop and yet panicking at the same time.
Oh man.. I hope she will forgive me for putting this out for the whole world to read but this has always been one of the funniest memory I have (and cherished!) till today...
