cough syrup

[dave2wheels]

The pharmacist walks into the store to find a guy leaning heavily
against a wall. He asks the clerk, "What's with that guy over there by
the wall?"


The clerk responds, "Well, he came in here this morning to get something
for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire
bottle of laxative."


The pharmacist yells, "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with a
laxative!"


The clerk responds, "Of course you can! Look at him, he's afraid to
cough."
