One Pharmacist in Columbia Maryland is lauding a new drug for the Yuppie crowd.
It doesn't give a false sense of security or relaxation -- it makes you enjoy being tense.

Listening to a young Yuppie couple argue as they waited for their prescriptions at least helped pass the time. When their meds were finally ready, they paid & walked away.

The Druggist stood there & shook his head. I asked, "What's with them ?"

He sighed and replied, "They're incompatible. He's on Xanax and she's on Prozac."

For those of you not familiar with the typical American drug store, most sell everything from groceries to compact cars.

A lady customer asked the Druggist if the hair nets on display were truly invisible.

He replied, "Miss, I've sold a dozen of them just today, and we've been out of them all week."

While waiting for a prescription to be filled, I heard an explosion from behind the divider, followed by an outpouring of dense black smoke.

The Pharmacist emerged several minutes later, his white uniform scorched black. He glared at the woman waiting next to me and said, "Would you ask your doctor to write your prescription again, and this time -- PRINT IT !"

I've been going to the same pharmacy for years now, and yet each time they ask my address, phone number, social security number, etc. A perky lil' blonde pharmacist was taking the information, & I said curtly, "My fingerprints are on file."

She was unshaken, saying, "OK." then asked, "Grandmother's maiden name ?"

Not to be outdone, I quipped, "Maternal or Paternal ?"

She looked up smiling and said, "You're pretty good."

Not finished with her yet I replied, "That's what I've been told many times."

Pausing to check me out, she raised one eyebrow, "Perhaps the level of testing here-to-fore has been insufficient."
