Taking Your Medicine
She: “You remembered to bring home the pills the doctor gave you?”
He: “Yes, dear. They’re right here.”
She: “Good. The medical people expect you to follow their instructions to the letter, and I’m here to make sure that you do that.”
He: “OK, I think. God give me the strength …”
She: “Of course I’m a blessing to you! Now here’s your first pill. Put it in your mouth.”
He: “Can’t I take a hacksaw to it first?”
She: “It’s not that big. Go on. Ah. Now spit it out.”
He: “Whaa …??”
She: “You heard me. Spit it out!”
He: “But what good is that supposed to do?”
She: “The good that comes from following the instructions!”
He: “Following .. the .. instructions ..”
She: “Look. They’re right on the packet. You can read ’em just as well as I can. ‘Take one pill twice daily until gone.’ You gotta save this one for dinnertime, when you take it again.”
He: “And so on until, like, August? Hon, surely you’ve heard about the difference between the spirit and the letter of the law?”
She: “Yes?”
He: “Well, then, may I suggest that, unless you wish me to become a spirit, we ignore the letter of this law and let me swallow the dam pill!”
