A calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked
up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said,
"I would like to buy some cyanide."
The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."
The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have
mercy! I can*t give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's
against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us
in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not!
You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a photo of her
husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked
at the picture and replied, "Well now, that's different. You
didn't tell me you had a prescription."
