Why no tortoise pickguard?

Once, several years ago, when I was still a college lad, I took about five or six excedrin for a really bad hangover.

Never, ever do this.

About an hour later I was vomiting into a toilet bowl. Mind you, I was empty, as I hadn't eaten any food that day, having only been drinking water.

I was basically vomiting almost nothing but blood, as the water had been expelled in the first heaves (before I made it to the bathroom.

By the end, you couldn't see the bottom of the toilet bowl, there was so much blood in the water.

The next time I saw a tort pickguard, and ever time after that, this event is what I always think of.

It looks almost exactly the same.

That was heavily disgusting.
Understood.
