One day I was playing cricket in the field and was catching the ball, right on the nose. The strike was so heavy that I was given a bloody nose and was in shock. I was given the first medical aid but in a short while I went to the doctor. He gave me a prescription to take to the chemist’s. I had a headache and was suffering from shock so he gave me a nerve tonic and aspirin.

I entered the chemist’s shop and came to the prescription department.

I: How do you do?

Chemist: How do you do. May I please have your prescription…You

have two items so you must pay four shillings, two shillings

for each item.

I: Why is not the chemist’s service free in England?

Chemist: When it was free, doctors were wasteful. They prescribed

medicines that people didn’t need. Here’s your medicine. Take

it three times a day according to the doctor’s advice.

I: Thank you but I would like to buy a couple of other things.

May I have two bars of soap, a tube of brushless shaving cream

and a packet of razor-blades.

Chemist: 10 shillings, please… Just a minute. Let me pack your things.

Here they are.

I: Thank you. Goodbye.

Chemist: You are welcome sir. Have a nice day.
