A cheerful woman walked into the pharmacy with confidence and asked the clerk,
“Hi! Do you have deodorant for… well… your bottom?”
The clerk blinked.
“Um… bottom deodorant?”
“Yes,” the woman said proudly. “I’ve been buying it here for months.”
Slightly confused, the clerk smiled politely.
“Let me grab the pharmacist real quick.”
The pharmacist came out and asked,
“Can you describe the product?”
The woman nodded.
“It’s in a little tube, you twist the bottom, and it goes up. You apply it to the bottom, just like it says on the label.”
Still puzzled, the pharmacist asked,
“Do you have the container with you?”
“Of course!” she said, digging into her purse and handing it over.
The pharmacist turned it over, read the label… and tried not to laugh.
“Ma’am, this is a regular stick of underarm deodorant.”
The woman snatched it back, read the label aloud, and said with a shrug,
“See? It says right here: ‘To apply, push up bottom.’”
