It started off like any other of the dozens of numbnuts every day that insist on interrupting me while I'm trying to fill your prescription. Except.......there's no way I heard that right.
"I'm sorry, you want to know where the what is sir?"
"The neck stretcher"
Stunned silence from the drugnazi. A realization that he wasn't asking whether we carried a neck stretcher, but just needed a little guidance as to where it would be, confident that any corner drugstore would have such a thing.
The customer goes on to describe some sort of contraption involving weights and pulleys and hanging something on the other side of a door. His neck looked to be about average in length.
"OK drugnazi" I say to myself. "This is obviously some sort of joke, and he wants you to play along. "
"You're not talking about a noose are you?"
The customer was not amused. As he left we were both convinced we had just talked to the biggest goddamn idiot on the face of the earth.
This was followed by a lady demanding that I give her antibiotics because she didn't want to see a doctor. She was convinced she had an infection based on only one symptom, her heart was beating fast.
Release the scotch...........

Just too damn funny!
People not in the business would swear you are making these things up.
You'll never believe this, but my ex father in law had a neck stretcher. It is a pully system that fits over a door and uses a bag of water for counterweight. I have no clue what the hell its for, but he said he never needed to see a chiropractor. a shrink maybe...........
Maybe he meant traction thing. My mom used to have a thing that went over the door for traction on her neck.
Let's try that again.
Repeated U.S. and foreign tests have shown #5 to be the most effective of the available treatment modalities; however, it is not recommended or approved for "at home use".
Neck stretcher #1.
Neck Stretcher #2.
Neck Stretcher #3.
