Sometimes we Seniors Understand Directions too well…I went to my nearby Chemist Warehouse, straight to the back, where the Pharmacists' high counter is located. I took out my little brown bottle, along with a teaspoon, and set them up on the counter. The Pharmacist came over, smiled, and asked if he could help me. I said, "Yes! Could you please taste this for me?Seeing a senior citizen, the Pharmacist went along. He took the spoon, put a tiny bit of the liquid on it, put it on his tongue and swilled it around. Then, with a stomach-churning look on his face, he spat it out on the floor and began coughing. When he was finally finished, I looked him right in the eye and asked, “Now, does that taste sweet to you?” The Pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous lookin his eyes yelled, "HELL NO!!!” I said, "Oh, thank God! That's a real relief! My doctor told me to have a Pharmacist test my urine for sugar!”
