Cough syrup

The pharmacist walks into his store and sees a guy
leaning against a wall.
He asks the blonde clerk, "What's with that guy
over there by the wall?"
She responds, "Well, he came in here this morning
to get something for his
cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave
him a bottle of laxative."

The pharmacist yells, "You idiot! You can't treat a
cough with a laxative!"


The blonde clerk responds, "Of course you can!
Look at him; he's afraid
to cough."
