Laughter is the best medicine. A collection of humor from the best in the profession of pharmacy.

While the oral telling of a rib-tickler differs from the written jest, all the shaggy dog stories, the “Gotcha!” jokes & the chestnuts of everyday history in some of the Short Snorts, are all in clean fun & packed with guffaws & giggles.

Yes, there are a slew of “aren't women/wives silly” & “aren't men/husbands dopes” mischief -- all to be read with a ton of salt & a laugh in mind. There are also hilarious anecdotes about pharmaceutical representatives or the proverbial traveling salesmen, plus some dark leg-pulling at the Golden Gate.

Marty Grant Two Bulls' fine cartoons dot the text giving Cliff Thomas' eclectic collection of groaners & moaners, all family rated with the occasional wincingly sexist zinger, a surefire success.

If you are planning to speak before any group, whether it's to your family or your community, you will find an appropriate humor within the pages of this entertaining salmagundi.

The Pharmacist-Tech Banter section contains many waggish couplets of repartee. You can imagine these industrious people laboring long hours to decipher doctors' scrawls, count pills & print labels, getting a bit punch drunk & lobbing back & forth hoary old puns, unabashed gags & often, telling little aphorisms.

Humor in Pharmacy pokes fun at this particular profession, & Cliff Thomas' Introduction makes merry of the first pharmacists. This is a must for public speakers, pharmacist friends or health care professionals who need a dose of humor, & who doesn't?

& if you can't bring yourself to go public, humorist & philosopher Cliff Thomas will gladly be your motivational & inspirational Keynote Speaker. He will leave your audience laughing.
