One quiet afternoon, a lady walked into a local drugstore. With a serious look on her face, she approached the counter and said to the druggist:
“I need some arsenic.”
The druggist, puzzled and cautious, raised his eyebrows.
“Ma’am, may I ask what you need it for?”
The lady didn’t hesitate for a second.
“To kill my husband,” she replied firmly.
The druggist nearly dropped his pen. Shocked, he quickly shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I cannot sell you arsenic for that reason. That’s against the law!”
The Shocking Twist
Just when the conversation seemed to hit a dead end, the lady calmly opened her purse and pulled out a photograph.
It was a picture of her husband… in a compromising situation. And who was with him? None other than the druggist’s wife!
The druggist’s eyes widened. His jaw dropped. For a moment, he stood speechless, staring at undeniable proof of betrayal.
Finally, he cleared his throat, looked at the lady, and with a nervous smile said:
“Oh… I didn’t know you had a prescription!”
The entire shop burst into silent laughter (at least in the imagination of anyone hearing this story).
A Lesson Wrapped in Humor
This story is one of those funny little tales that remind us how life can throw unexpected twists. It mixes humor with irony in the most unbelievable way.
Of course, in reality, arsenic is dangerous and not something to joke about. But the storytelling itself highlights how people deal with betrayal, anger, and justice in light-hearted jokes. Sometimes humor is the only medicine for pain.
Another Unexpected Call at the Hospital
Just like the druggist’s story, another funny situation happened at a hospital. A nurse picked up the phone.
A man’s worried voice spoke from the other side:
“I haven’t been feeling well… What should I do?”
The nurse, tired after a long shift but still witty, replied:
“Well sir, if you don’t feel well, maybe you should stop doing it!”
And once again, a serious situation turned into a laughable moment that left everyone smiling.
