[Second Frame: AZ is making his report to BB]

AZ: I think we've discovered a way to reduce our liability exposure on over-the-counter drugs, Boss.

BB: Really?

AZ: Yes, it seems that a handful of chiropractors have introduced legislation allowing them to prescribe nonprescription drugs.

BB: hee hee

[Fourth Frame: AZ continues as BB laughs harder]

AZ: Not only will this help convince skeptical consumers that these drugs are safe, but when the side effects, problems and deaths do occur, the attorneys will go after the prescribing chiros!

BB: Ha Haa Haaa!

BB: Agent Zachary, that's the funniest joke I've heard all year! Haa Haa.

AZ: But Boss, this isn't a joke, it's really happening in Colorado.

[Sixth Frame: BB looks surprised]

BB: Really?...Then we should be supporting these courageous chiropractic pioneers. Contact the Pharmaceutical Association immediately.
