I don't get it. Are you implying that Laura's comments were drug-addled
nonsense? They make perfect sense to me, and seem to be grammatically
correct for informal English (apart from a missing comma), and quite
idiomatic too. And I'm not taking any drugs.
I know that there's a trope of affectionately mocking people on strong
pain-killers ("I want some of the drugs she's having!"), but it's normal to
wait until *after* they've actually demonstrated impairment. Otherwise you
risk having the response which I'm having right now:
"I don't think it's Laura who is high on drugs, prescription
or otherwise, but you!"
:-)
Seriously, sorry for being That Guy who asks you to analyse what I expect is
meant as a joke, but I have no idea where the humour is.
