A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, “I would like to buy some cyanide, please.”
The pharmacist asked, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?”
The lady replied, “I need it to poison my husband.”
The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he exclaimed. “Lord have mercy! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband. That’s against the law. I’ll lose my license! They’ll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You cannot have any cyanide.”
The lady reached into her handbag and pulled out a photograph of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, “Well now, that’s different. You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”


- Uđe žena u ljekarnu i kaže farmaceutu da želi kupiti arsen. - Što će vam arsen? - pita on.- Želim ubiti svog muža jer me vara sa drugom ženom! - odgovara ona. - Ali gospođo, ne mogu vam prodati arsen da izvršite ubojstvo muža, čak i ako vas vara sa drugom ženom. Žena iz džepa izvadi fotografiju, a na fotografiji njen muž sa farmaceutovom ženom. - O, ispričavam se gospođo. Nisam znao da imate recept.
