I've read you should chew aspirin at the first sign of chest pain to stop a heart attack, but I hate the taste of aspirin. Couldn't I swallow a tablet?
Richard Gilbert Halifax, Nova Scotia

Chew a 325-milligram aspirin (or four 81-mg pills) no matter how bad it tastes. Chewing is the fastest way to get the aspirin into your bloodstream, where it can prevent blood clots. Should you have hest pain or suffer a heart attack, first call 911, then chew the aspirin.

If you're a fan of The Office, poetry, holidays, or humor, then I think you'll enjoy this. Here's just the beginning of it:

Thanks to everyone who voted for us!
