The pharmacist, a little bemused, explains to Joe thatthey don’t sell bottom deodorant, and never have.Unfazed, the Joe assures the pharmacist that he has been buyingthe stuff from this store on a regular basis, and would like somemore.I’m sorry,” says the pharmacist, “we don’t have any.”But I always get it here,” says Joe.Do you have the container it comes in?”“Yes!” said Joe, “I will go get it.”He returns with the container and hands it to the pharmacistwho looks at it and says to him, “This is just a normal stick ofunderarm deodorant.”The annoyed Joe snatches the container back and reads out loudfrom the container, “To apply, push up bottom.”If you’re interested in a rewarding career, working in aunique environment where you can be paid to integrateprofessional services such as consultations, communityseminars, and disease management clinics into your dailypractice, consider a position as a student pharmacist or apharmacist with Pharmasave.For more information, contact:Peter Zawadzki, B.Sc.Phm., R.Ph.Manager, Pharmacy InnovationPharmasave OntarioTel: 905.477.7820 ext 232Email: pzawadzki@on.pharmasave.cahttp://www.epillz.com/content-images/117-6.jpg
