The Laxative Cough Remedy

A drug store owner walks in and notices a man leaning stiffly against the wall.

He asks the clerk, “What’s wrong with that guy?”

The clerk says, “He came in looking for something for a cough. We were out of cough syrup, so I gave him a bottle of laxatives.”

The owner shouts, “You idiot! You can’t treat a cough with laxatives!”

The clerk replies, “Oh yeah? Look at him… he’s afraid to cough.”

Someone at work stole my potato salad.

Someone at work stole my potato salad. That’s okay, though — it’s not like I was really going to eat it after I forgot and left it the car for the last couple of days.
