How to help an old lady to sleep...

[robmoore]

A doctor who had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life
finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring
a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her.

As the young doctor looked through the list, his eyes grew wide as he
realised she had a prescription for birth control pills. "Mrs. Fitpatrick
do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?!?"
"Yes, they help me sleep at night."
" Mrs. Fitpatrick, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that
could possibly help you sleep!"

She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, You may think so. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 17-year-old granddaughter drinks...And believe me,
it helps me sleep at night!"
