At the chemists

The pharmacist spoke to me when I collected my tablets. He told me I should take them after breakfast. I explained that I don't have breakfast and never have done. He also warned me about painkillers. I explained that I don't take them. Even after my operation, I only took about a quarter of the dose I should have been taking. I have a very high pain threshold. I just get on with it. The chemist looked at me like I'd sprouted four heads.
