A nice, respectable looking woman went into the pharmacy, walked briskly up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I'd like to buy some cyanide."
The pharmacist, somewhat surprised, asked "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
The woman replied, "I need it to poison and kill my husband."
The pharmacist's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Lord have Mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband, that's against the law! I'll lose my licence, and they'll throw both of us in jail if he dies!! All kinds of bad things could happen. That's absolutely out of the question. No way! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
The lady looked him directly in the eyes again, then reached into her purse, and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacists wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture for a looong second, and then said, "Oh, that's a different matter. You didn't tell me you had a prescription" as he turned and reached for the cyanide...
