It actually would be a sounder basis for a relationship than me and the ex-wife had.....
Coincidentally, that came in the same batch as the worst comment ever:
"Do drugstore pharmacist have to go to school to get their job?"
Jesus H. I don't even know where to start with that one. Some nights the scotch just isn't enough.

Oh, sweetie! I feel your pain. I get that comment too. People ask me if I had to go to college to work in a travel agency and it really gets my knickers in a knot.
...And I'm not even responsible for handing people copious amounts of morphine, anti-depressants or some sort of personality-altering drug.
Don't worry, drug monkey. We will have our day, oh, we will have our day.
You remind me so much of a pharmacist that I work with!!!! But I know its not you because you have different alma maters. But damn the similarities are scary!
Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. I had a young girl (obviously 17ish and just out of high school) come to the counter and ask for an application to apply for a pharmacist position. I tried to be nice. . .
Ooooo! I got this one, too! It's one of the few regrets I have in life that I didn't say 'no, you just do on the job training.' Can you imagine? That would have been too funny. But there was another pharmacist standing nearby, and he's too straight to screw with people, even those that deserve it. I just keep hoping I'll get that question again when I'm alone. I'm gonna tell them no school, AND I get to call myself Doctor!
I had some clown ask me that too a while back. With the straightest face I could muster I told him "School? No. I put a quarter in one of those gumball machines, next door at the grocery store, and BINGO! out I pull a pharmacy licience, been working here ever since. I've been going back every week looking for a desk job..so far no luck.
You'd be amazed at how many people ask me -- in the back of my ambulance, where they can clearly see the big PARAMEDIC patch on my shoulder -- if I had to go to school to get my job.
Sometimes I say, "Nah, and today's my first day. I was working at 7-11 yesterday."
