The local chemist was called out one day and left the new assistant in charge. When he returned the assistant said: “A customer came in while you were out, sir.” “Oh, what did he want?” “He was rather groggy, so I gave him a tonic —a general mixture, a bit of this and a bit of that.” “But you don’t know anything much about it. You don’t know what harm you might do him.” “Oh, that’s all right—l got him to sign the poison book.”
