The owner asks the clerk

The owner asks the clerk, “What’s with that guy over

there by the wall?” The clerk says, “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.”

The owner replies, “You idiot! You can’t treat

a cough with laxatives!” “Oh yeah?” the clerk says,

“Look at him. He’s afraid to cough!”
