Sleeping Pills
By An exhausted looking blond dragged himself in to the doctor’s
office. “Doctor, there are dogs all over my neighborhood. They
bark all day and all night, and I can’t get a wink of sleep.”
“I have good news for you,” the doctor answered, rummaging
through a drawer full of sample medications. “Here are some new
sleeping pills that work like a dream. A few of these and your
trouble will be over.”
“Great,” the blond answered, “I’ll try anything. Let’s give it a
shot.”
A few weeks later the blond returned, looking worse than ever.
“Doc, your plan is no good. I’m more tired than before!”
“I don’t understand how that could be”, said the doctor, shaking
his head. “Those are the strongest pills on the market!”
“That may be true,” answered the blond wearily, “but I’m still
up all night chasing those dogs and when I finally catch one
it’s hard getting him to swallow the pill!”
