Picking up a prescription, Mr. Smith? Here's that 90 Day prescription of pain medication Dr. Jones called in for you today. Shall I go ahead and make reservations for your stay at our affiliated Drug Rehab Clinic to begin at the end of those 90 days?

You ask why the large container, Mr. Smith? In our pharmacy's effort to become more environmentally conscientious, instead of placing your 90 day supply of 10 different medications in 10 vials, we are now dispensing all your medications in one vial. We save on containers & paper, and you have the added benefit of a surprise every time you take a pill. It's a win-win situation.

Begin taking these suppositories right after the election. If we wind up with divided government, alternate between the red ones, and the blue ones. Take them, once daily, during the nightly news reports.
