That beats my favorite "pharmacist" story.
My sweet, endearing, impossibly innocent mother wanted to purchase her children new pairs of rainwear shoe coverings. So...she approached the pharmacist and in a voice that echoed enquired "where do you keep the rubbers?"
My father slammed a hand over his mouth and flung himself backwards down a different aisle to try and sifle the hysterical laughter.
The local pharmacist, who had known my mother for a very long time, regarded her in silence for a second, smiled...and pointed her to the galoshes.
Years later, my mother forced her gynecologist to write this same pharmacist a note explaining why she was being put on birth control pills. (Hormone regulation.) See, my father was doing his first tour of duty in Vietnam and respectable wives whose husbands are away do not require birth control pills...unless....
My Dad would have howled at the speculum story, Vid.
My mother wouldn't have understood it.
