Blood Sugar

~

The other day I went over to a nearby Pharmacy.

When I got there, I went straight to the back of the Store to where the Pharmacists’ Counter is located.

I took out my little brown bottle along with a teaspoon and laid them both onto the counter.

The Pharmacist came over smiled and asked if he could help me.

I said, “Yes! Could you please taste this for me?”

Being I’m a Senior Citizen…I guess the Pharmacist just went along with me.

He picked up the spoon and put a tiny bit of the liquid on his tongue and swilled it around.

Then with a stomach-churning look on his face he spit it out on the floor and began coughing.

When he finally was finished, I looked him right in the eye asked, “Now, does that taste sweet to you?”

The Pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, “HELL NO!!!”

So I said, “Oh thank God!That’s such a relief! My Doctor told me to get a Pharmacist to test my Urine for sugar!”

Well, I can never go back to that Pharmacy, but I really don’t care though, because they aren’t very friendly there anyway!!!

I recently met a friend of mine, a Basque man, carrying a huge barrel on his shoulder. “Where are you going?”, I asked. “To see the doctor”, he answered. “And what is this barrel for?” “Oh, last time he visited me, he said he wanted to see me after sixth months, and that I should bring my urine, for a test.”
