Civilization and its Incontinents

Returning from lunch, the pharmacist walks back into the store to find a guy leaning heavily against a wall, open mouthed, looking scared.

"What's with the guy over there by the wall?" inquires the pharmacist.

The blonde clerk replies: "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup so I gave him an entire bottle of laxative."

"You idiot!” ejaculates the pharmacist. “You can't treat a cough with a laxative!"

"Oh yeah?" inquires the blonde. "Look again. He won’t cough for a week."
