Mr. Johnson had been retired for a year when his wife
of fifty years suggested they take a cruise: “We could
go somewhere for a week, and make wild love like we did
when we were young!” He thought it over and agreed.He put
on his hat and went down to the pharmacy, where he bought
a bottle of seasick pills and a box of condoms. Upon
returning home, his wife said ”I’ve been thinking. There
is no reason we can’t go for a month.” So Mr. Johnson went
back to the pharmacy and asked for twelve bottles of seasick
pills and a box of condoms. When he returned his wife said,
”You know, since the children are on their own, what’s
stopping us from cruising the world?” So back to the pharmacy
he went, and brought 297 bottles of seasick pills and the
same amount of condoms up to the counter. The pharmacist
finally had to ask. “You know, Mr. Johnson, you have been
doing makes you that sick, why the hell do you do it?”
