The Engineer & the Pharmacist

[Chuck]

A Taranaki loco engineer walked into a drug store and asked to talk to a male Pharmacist.

The elderly woman he was talking to said that she was the only Pharmacist, her Pharmacist husband had died, and she and her widowed Sister owned the store. There were now no males employed there. She then asked if she could help the gentleman.

The Engineer said that it was something that he would be much more comfortable discussing with a male Pharmacist.

The female Pharmacist assured him that she was completely professional and whatever it was that he needed to discuss, he could be confident that she would treat him with the highest level of professionalism.

So, the Engineer agreed and began by saying, "This is tough for me to discuss, but I have a permanent erection. It causes me a lot of problems and severe embarrassment, and I was wondering what you could give me for it."

The Pharmacist said, "Just a minute, I'll go talk to my sister."

When she returned, she said, "We discussed it at length and the absolute best we can do is, 1/3 ownership in the store, a company car, and $3,000 a month plus living expenses.”
