Suppositories

This is one subject that the French are quite relaxed about and the English conversely get very hot under the collar whenever suppositories are mentioned.

After a trip to the pharmacy I am convinced that there is a suppository for every ailment. Initially, I wanted some paracetamol and naturally I was given it in the suppository form. I asked if there was a tablet version.

‘But why’, the pharmacist asked,’ the suppositories work a lot quicker’.

This, I do not doubt, but could I please have paracetamol in a tablet form.

 There is a farmer who lives on the outskirts of the village, whom I am told has never been ill and the reason for this is his daily garlic clove suppository !!

 This sounds really weird ... Big Smile [:D]

Was the paracetamol intended for a child?

It is commonly given for children. But very rare for adults.

About the garlic treatment, ........ giggle giggle...   Never heard of such a thing, but it makes me laugh.............
