~ ~ ~ Off To The Pharmacy ~ ~ ~

One day an old man goes into a pharmacy, reaches into his pocket and takes out a small bottle and a teaspoon laying it on the counter.

He asks the pharmacist, “could you taste this for me, please”.

Being a senior citizen, the pharmacist went along. Taking the spoon with a tiny dab of the liquid, he puts it in his mouth swills the liquid around and with a grimacing look spits it out in a cup.

“Now does that taste sweet to you.” says the old man?

The pharmacist said to the old man. “no!”

“Oh that's a relief”, says the old man, “the doctor told me to come here and get my urine tested for sugar”.
