This is why (a Senior?) should listen to their Doctor's instructions.

I went to my nearby Chemist, straight to the back where the Pharmacist's counter is located.

I took out my little brown bottle along with a teaspoon and set them up on the counter.

The Pharmacist came over, smiled, and asked if he could help me. I said "Yes! Could you please taste this for me?"

Seeing a Senior Citizen the Pharmacist went along. He took the spoon, put a tiny bit of the liquid on it, put it on his tongue and swilled it around.

Then with a stomach-churning look on his face, spat it out on the floor and started coughing.

When he finally finished, I looked him right in the eye and asked, "Now does that taste sweet to you?"

The Pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, "NO WAY."

I said, "Oh thank God! That's a relief! My doctor told me to have a Pharmacist test my urine for sugar."

I can never go back to that chemist but I really don't care because they aren't very friendly there anymore.
