I meant to post this last week, but forgot...
Last Wednesday a middle-aged lady came up to me at the pharmacy, to ask if her diabetic husband could take Panadol. I said yes. She asked me to check with the pharmacist, which confirmed my answer.
"Okay then, so he can take Panadol," she said, "but will it cause sleepishness?"
"SLEEPISHNESS???" I wanted to yell! But I retained my composure and said, "No, it won't make him drowsy at all."
To which she replied, "Okay, can I get some of the genetic brand Panadol then?"
:)
Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteShe must have been on something pretty strong herself to make a mess of her words like that. (Think Greenbottle from 'Yes, What?', that 1930s Aussie radio comedy...)
sleepishness...genetic...
