Monty double-parked his car and rushed into a drugstore. He found the pharmacist and said anxiously, "Can you give me something quick that will cure a horrible case of hiccups?" Without saying a word, the pharmacist gave him a hard slap across the face. "What did you do that for?" asked the stunned Monty. The pharmacist smiled and said, "Well, since I slapped you, you haven't had the hiccups." "That's right," growled Monty, "but my wife out in the car still has them."
