A chemist walks into his shop to find a man leaning aginst the wall. He asks, "Whats wrong with him?"
His assistant replies, "He came in for cough syrup but I couldn't find any so I gave him a bottle of laxatives."
"Idiot," says the chemist, "You can't treat a cough with laxatives."
"Of course you can," the assistant replied. "Look at him now, he's too afraid to cough."
