To paraphrase the great Will Rogers, El Rusho never met a pharmacist he did not like.

A prudent pharmacist often vends something for your complaint. But wine merchant you do this invariably.

You can't ask your pharmacist to stock larger quantities of potassium nitrate because you want to make a bigger rocket.

While I have served in public office for 30 years, my professional training is as a pharmacist, not a lawyer or an accountant.

I'm from Iowa Falls, Iowa. My dad was a small-town lawyer, and my mom was a pharmacist. She worked at Swartz Drug. I have five older brothers.

Grandfather was an old-fashioned pharmacist who never ceased venting his resentment at the growing number of retail items the drugstore had to carry, and he would go into periods of fearful rage when the subject of chain stores was raised.

Nobody just leaves medical school, especially given it's fiercely competitive to get in. But I had a sister who was a doctor, another who was a pharmacist, a brother who was an engineer. So my parents already had sensible children who would be able to make an actual living, and I think they felt comfortable sacrificing their one strange child.
