Remember that movie It's A Wonderful Life ? Remember the druggist Mr. Gower? He hit George Bailey...hard..in his bad ear when all George was trying to do was stop him from poisoning the town? I don't know about you, but I never looked at him the same for the rest of that movie and, truth be told, I haven't looked at druggists the same since that moment. Which is why it comes as no suprise that Rite-Aid executives are on their way to the clink en masse for atrocities to horrid to detail in a family website. Just suffice it to say, if you want to know why our business sections look like scandal rags lately, start with the pill-pushers.

Business Axiom #6,702
You Can't Tell A Swede What To Do

All you non-Swedes know exactly what we're talking about right? Here's a perfect Industry Example:

Bob owns a small company and hires Joe, a Swede, to run the machine. Bob tells Joe to watch out for the discombobulator, lest he be struck in the head. Joe doesn't listen and takes a hard knock on the noggin.
