A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, right 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 picture 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!'
