Donald was a clerk in a small drugstore but he was not much of a salesman. He could never find the item the customer wanted. KC, the owner, had had about enough and warned Donald that the next sale he missed would be his last.

Just then a priest came in coughing and he ask Donald for their best cough syrup. Try as he might Donald could not find the cough syrup. Remembering KC's warning he sold the priest a box of Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once. The priest did as Donald said and then walked outside and leaned against a lamp post.

KC had seen the whole thing and came over to ask Donald what had transpired.

"He wanted something for his cough but I couldn't find the cough syrup. I substituted Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once," Donald explained.

"Ex-Lax won't cure a cough!" KC shouted angrily.

"Sure it will" Donald said, pointing at the priest leaning on the lamp post. "Look at him. He's afraid to cough."
