The owner of a drug store walks in to find a guy Leaning heavily against a wall. The owner asks the Clerk, "What's with the guy over there by the wall?"

The clerk responds, "Well, he came in this Morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't Find the cough syrup, so I had him drink a bottle of laxatives."

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."
