~ ~ ~ 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”.
