Here's a good one from Anna Welander:

Because of an ear infection, a young boy had to go to the pediatrician.
While there, his mother was impressed with the way the doctor directed
his comments and questions to her son. Then, just as he was finishing
up, the doctor turned to the boy and asked, "Is there anything you are
allergic to?" The boy nodded and whispered in the pediatrician's ear.

Smiling, the pediatrician wrote out a prescription and handed it to the
mother. Without looking at it, she tucked it into her purse, and, taking
the boy by the hand, left.

Later, the pharmacist filled the order and upon handing it to her,
remarked on the unusual food-drug interaction her son must have. "What
food-drug interaction?" asked the puzzled mom. "I don't know of any such
problem." Understanding came almost immediately when the pharmacist
showed her the label on the bottle. As per the doctor's instructions, it
read: "Do not take with broccoli."
