How to earn millions the right way

It was pushing 7 in the evening when Martin entered the drug store. After deliberattions with the pharmacist he got a vial labelled  'poison',  threw away the bill and started home. The events of the last 2 months started unfolding.

Martin, a handsome and young doctor was working in the Fleming hospital, where Cynthia was a patient; she was a billionaire's daughter; several industries, farm houses and estates became hers after her fathers's demise. According to the will,  the property would go to Cynthia, then to her husband and children (should something befall her). The care and attention that Martin bestowed on Cynthia in the hospital culminated in their simple wedding. Martin earned himself a billionaire wife, will he become one? his friends began to guess. A few days back, the chief surgeon told Martin that Cynthia could be taken home. He should keep her happy and contented. He warned that any disturbance or un necessary nuisance would aggravate her condition.

 As he reached their sprawling  mansion, Martin tiptoed to Cynthia's room. Opening the door by a few millimetres, he saw her fast asleep, thanks to the heavy drugs and to her voracious reading habit. The book rack, a little away from her bed, contained some of the finest collections which Martin had presented. This must be the right time to use the poison, Martin told himself.

Time was ticking away. Silently he went near the bed. Took  the bottle out. Then sprayed the wasp's nest under the book rack with the poison, destroying  the insects that were a menace. His mind became relaxed. Cynthia could sleep peacefully.

A tall story

Detective inspector Cray, in his duty uniform, was waiting at Queenstown bus station on a special mission; to scout around for drug traffickers between Queenstown and Crossly, a distance of 12km. Crossly was the destination for such offenders.His keen eyes spotted an old lady carrying a child in one hand and pulling a wheeler in the other. She was wiping the sweat often. The inclement weather must be telling on her age.

The bus arrivedand the lady was rushing towards it. Cray crossed over and took the child and the whheeler from her. They were seated side by side. Thanking Cray for his courtesy, she struck up a conversation. Her son and daughter in law were ina far off place and had left the shild in her care. The whheeler contained  the childs belongings and she was carrying the child to her daughter in law's place which was 7km. away. The child was missing his parents and at times he proved to be un manageable.  
Cray comforted her saying that he would take care of the child and the wheeler so that she could take a nap. After 5km of travel they had to change buses at a check point. Cray got down with the lady's belongings. The lady lagged behind him.

The cheking was thorough; some passengers were detained. Both of them resumed their journey after this. When the ladr had to disembark. she profuselt thanked Cray for his kindness. Cray was watching them as the lady as she struggled along and finally disappeared.

The next day newspapers were crying hoarse with the following news. Police at Crosly were alerted with a tip off that an elderly woman was supposed to arrive at Croly bus station from Queenstown, carrying 3 kg of heroin. But she did not show up Crosly. Also how did she escape the check point?

Driving in her latest Mercedes, the old lady was laughing to herself. She had duped a duty officcer by reeling off a story about her non existent son and daughter in law!   

Tell tale heart

Dr.Joshua was a young and famous neuro surgeon with hundreds of brain surgeries to his credit. One day he  was sitting in his study deeply immersed in thoughts. If one needed hundreds of Newtons, Curies and Einsteins in the world,all that is required is to tailor-make such brilliant brains; that is,identify the persons with very high IQs and culture their brain cells in the laboratory. Of course this is not going to be simple. But Dr.Joshua wanted to go ahead with his pet plan.

After sweating it out, the surgeon succeeded. The best brain had been developed surpassing his expectations. As no one dared to take a chance with the new brain, Dr.Joshua himself offered to undergo a brain transplant. It was a big success. The entire world was electrified. No wonder Dr.Joshua was identified to be very brilliant with the highest IQ. Several countries vied with one another to offer him citizenship. He was to be conferred the Nobel Prize in a weeks time.   

Three days passed. The next morning Dr.Joshua was found dead in his bed.The reason was the failure of the heart.

Was it that the best of the brains could not read the failing heart or the heart was beyond intelligence? 

The height of forgotten chemistry

On his way back from the laboratory, the absent minded  professor Dr.Absmin entered the drug store and asked the sales girl: "Please give me a pack of NSAIDs". The girl being a new hand, was  a  little perplexed and asked, " Sir, I do not get you . Can you please explain". "Ok", said the professor, " I shall explain. I want the esterification product of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride ". The girl threw up her hands and was ready to climb the wall. Exclaiming she could not make out what he wanted. " Sir, could you please at least tell me what is biting you? I only mean to help you". Pressing his head with both the hands he shouted " Miss, I have a splitting head ache". " In that case, will aspirin help you "? asked the girl.

   "oh! Miss", said the professor some what ashamed , " That is exactly the medication  I wanted. I forgot that little name which is always my problem".
