Medicine for a Headache

One day a man went to the chemist’s shop. He saw the chemist and asked him, “Have you anything for a headache?”

The chemist said, “I have a very good medicine”. Then he took a small bottle from the shelf. He held it under the man’s nose and opened it. It was not a great pleasure for the man, because tears came to his eyes and ran down his face. He couldn’t speak and didn’t like the medicine.

“What did you do?” he said when he could speak again.

“Well, I didn’t do anything bad”, said the chemist. “You wanted something for your headache, didn’t you? That medicine has helped you, hasn’t it?”

No, it hasn’t”, said the man. “It’s my wife who has the headache, not me!”

“Oh, I’m, sorry!” said the chemist. “Next time please tell me more about the medicine you want. And I’ll ask you more questions before giving you something”.
