The
doctor that had been seeing Myrtle, a now 84-year-old woman, for most of his life, died shortly after he retired at 65.
At her next annual checkup, the new
doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her.
As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.
Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?
Yes, they help me
sleep at night.
Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!
She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee.
Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old grand daughter drinks . . .
And believe me, it helps me sleep at night.
