Today saw this on an online vent your daily drama blog type thing, called fmylife.

"Today, I received a phonecall from my son's school. Apparantly, for the past week he has been telling everyone 'mummy works as a drug dealer.' I'm a pharmacist"

I dont know about you guys, but i found it pretty funny.

My son thought this was a very funny reply to questions when asked what his father did.
I told him that someone might tell the parents and I did not fancy a visit from the police.
Reminds me when I worked on holiday placement in industry. The chemicals (drugs) arrived in drums in a polythene bag, At that time these bags were a novelty.
One of the workes said they mad good suit covers so we decided to take some pas security on leaving. He was questioned as to what the bags had contained, 'chemicals'
he replied OK was the reply. My answer to the question was 'drugs'. Oh said security, and confiscated the bags.
After that I always referred to a product as a medicine. Remember C&D stands for 'Chemist and Druggist'. Drugstore was the name for a store that sold proprietary medicines.
It is only in the last 40 years that 'drug' has come to mean narcotics.
