Over the Counter

（单词翻译:单击）

A middle-aged1 man who is about 5 feet, 8 inches tall walks into a Wal-Mart and asks where the pharmacy2 counter is. He is directed to it. When he reaches the pharmacy counter, he asks to see the pharmacist.

The pharmacist comes out, and the man, looking around furtively3, asks quietly, "Do you sell Viagra here?"

The pharmacist answers firmly, "Yes, sir. We certainly do."

The man then says, "Do you think I could get it over the counter?"

The pharmacist looks at him for a moment, compares his height to that of the counter, and then says, "Perhaps if you took 5 or 6 pills at once you might."
