A nice, calm, respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the
pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy
some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The 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! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely
not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband at a
fancy restauant, having dinner with the pharmacist's wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, that's
different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."
