The Pharmacist
A man went into a pharmacy and asked to talk to a
male pharmacist.
The woman he was talking to said that she was the
pharmacist and that she and her sister owned the store, so there were no
males employed there. She then asked if there was something she could help
the gentleman with. The man said "This is embarrassing for me, but I
have a permanent erection which causes me a lot of problems and severe
embarrasement. I was wondering what you could give me for it?"
The pharmacist said, "Just a minute, I'll go talk
to my sister."
When she returned, she said, "The best we can do
is 1/3 ownership in the store and $5000 in cash."
