The Stone Poses....

I love malapropisms.

One of our customers seems to be confused by the word prescription, and always bounces up to the counter, asking for her description instead. (The bitchy side of me really wants to reply 'Short, fat and ugly!', but I manage to resist.)

Then there was the one yesterday, who wanted soluble paracetamol, but asked for ones which were insolvent, instead....

My favourite this week though, was the elderly man who wanted to buy laxatives, because for the previous five days, he'd been suffering from consternation!! Five whole days - who could blame him!!
