Irishman and the chemist

[fatherted]

One day an Irishman goes into a pharmacy - reaches into his pocket and takes out a small Irish whiskey bottle and a teaspoon.
He pours from the bottle onto the teaspoon and offers it to the chemist.
"Could you taste this for me, please?"
The chemist takes the teaspoon, puts it in his mouth, swills the liquid around and swallows it.
"Does that taste sweet to you?" asks Paddy.
"No, not at all," says the chemist.
"Oh good that's a relief," says Paddy. "The doctor told me to come here and get my urine tested for sugar."
