The doctor that had been seeing an 80 year old woman for most of her adult life finally retired. Before her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medications that had been prescribed for her.
As the young doctor was looking through the list, his eyes grew wide as he realized that she had a prescription for birth control pills. "Mrs. Smith, do you realize that these are BIRTH CONTROL PILLS?"
"Yes, they help me sleep at night." The doctor replied, Mrs. Smith, I assure you that there is absolutely NOTHING in these pills that could possibly help you sleep!"
She reached out and patted the young doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks. . .and, believe me, it definitely helps me sleep at night!"
