Afraid to Cough

The owner of this drug store walks in to find a guy leaning
heavily against a wall. The owner asked the clerk: “What’s with
the guy over there by the wall?”

The 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 owner, wide-eyed and excited, shouts; “You idiot! you
can’t treat a cough with a bottle of laxatives!”

The clerk calmly responds: “Of course you can. Look at him.
He’s afraid to cough”
