PATIENT—"Why doctor, you once told me never to eat anything before going to bed."
DOCTOR (with dignity)—"Pooh, pooh! That was last January. Science has made enormous strides since then."
GIRL (to druggist)—"Could you fix me a dose of castor oil so as the oil won't taste?"
DRUGGIST—"Certainly! Won't you have a glass of soda while waiting?" (She drinks the soda.)
DRUGGIST—"Something else, miss?"
GIRL—"No, just the oil."
DRUGGIST—"But you have just drank it."
GIRL—"Oh! It was for my mother."
