Ask the pharmacy

[stone-UK]

SENIORS UNDERSTANDING DIRECTIONS

I went to my nearby Pharmacy, straight to the back, where the Pharmacists' high counter is located.

I took out my little brown bottle, along with a teaspoon, and set them up on the counter.

The Pharmacist came over, smiled, and asked if he could help me.

I said, "Yes! Could you please taste this for me?

Seeing a senior citizen, the Pharmacist went along with my request.

He took the spoon, put a tiny bit of the liquid on it, put it on his tongue and swilled it around.

Then, with a stomach-churning look on his face, he spat it out on the floor and began coughing.

When he was finally finished, I looked him right in the eye and asked: “Now, does that taste sweet to you?"

The Pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled: "HELL NO!!!"

I said, "Oh, thank God! That's a real relief!

My doctor told me to have a Pharmacist test my urine for sugar!"

I’m not allowed to go back to that Pharmacy, but I really don't care, because they aren't very friendly there anymore!

Well I'm visiting with my brother for a while. I just read this and erupted in some kind of hybrid snort and choke and hysterical laughter. This is not a dignified start to my stay here 🤣😂

[lungs]

Nice one, made me laugh especially as I thought it was going to be serious. X

[greatauntali]

Should come with a health warning - laughed so much, I ended up with a coughing fit.

[Hacienda]

[Hidden]

I am old enough to know that’s how they used to test it!

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Hidden]

I can't decide if you're being serious or not 😯 Surely not?!

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Absolutely serious. They told us about it when I started training. They also used to look at men’s shoes to see if there was any white ‘deposit’. Doesn’t bear thinking about does it?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Nope...can't work that one out....

[Kristicats in reply to Hidden]

Pleased it wasn’t around during my training 🤢🤢

[joyce74]

Brilliant can't stop laughing 😂

[SORRELHIPPO]

Wonderful, when I started reading I was expecting some worthy comment about how useful pharmacists are, I have always taken great delight, when reading mainly newspaper articles, when I have had to do a double take and wonder what they actually meant, where a comma might have been put, so that I was sure what had happened.

[UHelga]

I can’t stop laughing! This is brilliant 🤣
