They hadn't, but that didn't keep them from getting the "dry heaves."

I was a sick kid for most of my early years, so I was never healthy 
enough to have my tonsils out. Lucky me. I did have them out when I 
was about 60--that's definitely too old for that operation, but at 
least I wasn't nauseated afterwards. Swallowing was bad enough, but 
the converse would have been worse.

So-called "global warming" is just a secret ploy by wacko 
tree-huggers to make America energy independent, clean our air and 
water, improve the fuel efficiency of our vehicles, kick-start 
21st-century industries, and make our cities safer. Don't let them 
get away with it!!
