A nice, calm, respectable Irish lady went into a pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked him straight in the eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide." The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The Irish lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband." The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's against the law! I will lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail, Lassie! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely, not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!" The Irish lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband at a pub, very cozy, having drinks with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, that's different, Lassie. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."
