Eric Says Relax

Killing time before a movie, an ex and I rifles thru what the nearby shoppes had to offer, hoping to be aroused by some remarkable deal. I was making a Facebook post in the first row of used clothes when Eric sent me a text: “Got some extra muscle relaxers laying around. Would you be interested? I know you and your buddies like to get into all kinds of shenanigans. Haha.” Told him that I’d “keep him posted” while I used the movie to consider his offer. Anecdotes of friends were recalled, and even though it would’ve been fun to mix with something else, I decided the money would be better spent on something that could get me ed up instead.

Very interesting pen, Joseph. I'm not sure I understand the last two lines: "that could get me ed up instead." ED in the U.S. has the meaning of erectile dysfunction. So, help???? I enjoyed reading about your experience.
