Suppositories

This is one subject that the French are quite relaxed about and the English conversely get very hot under the collar whenever suppositories are mentioned.

After a trip to the pharmacy I am convinced that there is a suppository for every ailment. Initially, I wanted some paracetamol and naturally I was given it in the suppository form. I asked if there was a tablet version.
‘But why’, the pharmacist asked,’ the suppositories work a lot quicker’.
This, I do not doubt, but could I please have paracetamol in a tablet form.

There is a farmer who lives on the outskirts of the village, whom I am told has never been ill and the reason for this is his daily garlic clove suppository !!
