An elderly woman was visiting a doctor. When the doctor asked what she needed help with, the woman replied, “I’d like to have some birth control pills.”

“Excuse me?” said the doctor. “Ma’am, I hope this doesn’t offend you but you’re 72 years old. I don’t think there’s a chance you’ll get pregnant.”

“I know,” said the woman. “But they help me sleep better.”

The doctor paused. “How could they possibly help you sleep better?”

“Simple,” said the woman. “I put them in my granddaughter’s orange juice every morning and I sleep better at night.”
