Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of
tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The man at the counter asked the older boy, 'Son, how old are you?'
'Eight,' the boy replied.
The man continued, 'Do you know what these are used for?'
The boy replied, 'Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for
him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these
you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do
either one.'
