Cough Syrup

What a predicament!!

The pharmacist walks into the store to find a guy leaning heavily
against a wall and looking faint.

He asks the blonde clerk "What's with that guy over there by the wall?"

The blonde clerk 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 an entire 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!
