“Doc, you’ve gotta help me! My wife just isn’t interested in me
anymore. Haven’t you got a pill or something I can give her?”
“Look, I can’t prescribe…”
“Doc, we’ve been friends for years. Have you ever seen me this
upset? I’m desperate! I can’t think; I can’t concentrate; my life
is going utterly to hell! You’ve got to help me.”
The doctor opens his desk drawer and removes a small bottle of
pills. “Ordinarily, I wouldn’t do this. These are experimental;
the tests so far indicate that they’re VERY powerful. Don’t give
her more than ONE, understand? Just ONE.”
“I don’t know, doc; she’s awfully cold…”
“One. No more. In her coffee. Okay?”
“Um… okay.”
He thanks the doc and heads for home where his wife has dinner
waiting. When dinner is finished, she goes to the kitchen to
bring dessert. He pulls the pills from his pocket and drops one
into his wife’s coffee. He thinks for a moment, hesitates, then
drops in a second pill. And then he begins to worry. The doctor
did say they were powerful.
Then an inspiration strikes… he drops one pill into his own
coffee. His wife returns and they enjoy their dessert and coffee.
Sure enough, a few minutes after they finish, his wife shudders a
little, sighs deeply and heavily, and a strange look enters her
eyes. In a near-whisper and in a tone of voice he has never heard
her use before, she looks at him seductively and says, “I need a
man… Right now!!”
His eyes glitter, and his hands tremble as he replies,
“Me too…”
