A friend of mine, from my school days, is now working at my local chemists.
When I chatted with her yesterday, she told me of a recent occurrence that had happened
recently to her boss, the pharmacist.
An old man, clearly a senior citizen, came in asking to speak to the pharmacist on duty.
As he waited, he took out from his pocket a little brown bottle and set it on the counter.
Soon the pharmacist came over, smiled and asked what she could do for him.
He said, "Could you please taste this for me?"
Seeing, as this was a senior citizen, the Pharmacist went along with his request.
She took a small spoon, put a tiny drop of liquid on it, put it on her tongue and swilled
it thoroughly around her mouth.
Then, with a stomach-churning look on her face, she instantly spat it out on the floor
and began uncontrollably coughing.
When she was finally finished, the old gentleman looked her straight in the eye and enquired,
"Now, does that taste at all sweet to you?"
The pharmacist, shaking her head back and forth, with a venomous look in her eye exclaimed,
"HELL NO!"
"Oh thank God!" the pensioner replied smiling. "That's a real relief! My doctor told me to get my
pharmacist to test my urine for any unwanted sugar."
