An agricultural entrepreneur received a large shipment of blue pills. His hired man, suffering from some heartburn, happened upon them in the medicine cabinet whilst his employer was in town. Thinking them to be some sort of antacid, he took a handful. When the employer returned from town, he began to see all of the livestock lying about, exhausted from being enthusiastically serviced by the hired man. As he neared the house, he found the dogs, the cats, and occasional small wildlife all in the same condition. Upon entering the house, he found the hired man standing before the pencil sharpener, yelling, "Yo ho ho, and the parakeet's next!"
