Sexy Offender

So the posts have dried up lately. Working at Corpopharm for 60 hours per week saps my creative energy and makes it hard to see the humor in it. My district has gone to shit lately (again) do to my fellow pharmacists getting fired or quitting. That much fun can make you numb.

One thing from tonight definitely broke the monotony for a few minutes. About a half hour before close some guy brought in a new script for his poison ivy. Poison ivy is a gold mine for pharmacies during the summer. I live in the middle of the city, but people still manage to find it.

As I was entering his Rx into the computer, he started a conversation with me that went a little something like this. Background: English is his second language, and he doesn't yet have a full grasp of it.

Guy: So, have you heard about the sexy offender in neighborhood?
Me: (pause) What?
Guy: Yes! There is man in neighborhood that out late at night and he take out his...
Me (interupting): Oh!! You mean a sex offender.
Guy: There difference?
Me: YES! Yes, there is a very big difference. Just make sure you say sex offender from now on, not sexy offender. OK?
Guy: I still learning (laughs).

I'm hoping that he was able to take something away from our conversation.
