sawadee1947 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 maybe he got a severe headache caused by his booze the day before and was in need for some Ibuprofen. And because of gambling the day before...money was gone. The only payment was his knife. The pharmacist must have mistaken something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
