Neferneferuaten-Tasherit's Nocturnal Chemist Adventures

06-10-2003
It was a dark and stormy night... It always seems to be that way when Nefernferuaten-Tasherit has a stroy to tell. But that isn't the point.

It was a dark and stormy night, and Neferneferuaten-Tasherit was slogging away at cleaning the shelves of the pain killers and stuff, when a happy-looking-middle-aged-man walked in and wandered seemingly aimlessly around the store. Neferneferuaten-Tasherit thought perhaps he was looking for something, so she approached him with her fake "I'm enjoying working at the moment, and I enjoy helping customers so here I come to help you" face on, and asked him...

"Can I help you?"

The man turned around and smiled his gap-toothed smile and replied with, "Where's your haemorrhoid kind of stuff?"

Neferneferuaten-Tasherit smiled in return, and replied to his reply. "Right behind you!"
The man's smile expanded as he had a bit of a chuckle. Neferneferuaten-Tasherit didn't understand why he was chuckling. Was it her fake "I'm enjoying working at the moment, and I enjoy helping customers so here I come to help you" face? Was it her tasteful work shirt? Was it her, just in general?

No. It was none of these...

Later that night when Neferneferuaten-Tasherit had finished her 6 hour nocturnal shift at the chemist, she went to Granny 's house for dinner. She told Heather about the man with the haemorrhoids. Heather always likes the haemorrhoid stories.

The conversation took place thusly:

Neferneferuaten-Tasherit: "I served a man with haemorrhoids today."
Heather: "What did he say?"
Neferneferuaten-Tasherit: "'Where's your haemmorhoid kind of stuff?'"
Heather: "What did you say?"
Neferneferuatem-Tasherit: "Right behind you."

At that point, the entire table of guests burst into peals of laughter, apart from Dorkus , who didn't get it either.

At that point, Neferneferuaten-Tasherit realised the humour in what she had said to the happy middle-aged man with haemorrhoids. Hah! It was funny after all!

The end.
