Congratulations! Wow - pharmacy is not an easy thing. You have my respect.

Now, I don't know if you've ever read the story of Rip Van Winkle. It's by an American author, Washington Irving, and the crux of the plot is that Rip Van Winkle drinks some beer and sleeps through the entire American Revolution. There's more to it than that, but good old Rip sleeps for twenty years.

The whole point of this digression is that I was going through my cartoon-a-day calendar and what should be there but this:

INTERIOR: A COURTROOM. A PHARMACIST is on trial.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY, CROSS-EXAMINING THE DEFENDANT, HOLDING A PILL VIAL AND GESTURING DRAMATICALLY: "Now, I ask you, don't you feel that 60,000 milligrams was an excessive dose for Mr. Van Winkle?"
