Sleeping pill manufacturers might want to consider adding the warning “could potentially cause the subconscious purchase of a cow” to their listed side effects.
While we doubt that they actually will, if this recent Imgur upload is to be believed, then they should probably at least consider it.
How did this happen? Well, a Reddit user apparently took some sleeping pills that failed to have their desired effect.
Instead of sending him to a blissful sleep, they apparently prompted him to walk to his computer and commit to a $3,000 (£2,388) transaction that would give him the award of most interesting pet.
Proof, you ask?
We hope that this story finally gets YAKS N THINGS the attention that they deserve.
Cynical as we are about the story, at least the order slip looks legit. And damn, yaks don’t come cheap do they?
The friend later posted to say that the sale had been cancelled before any payment was taken, sadly meaning that no yaks showed up at the front door, apparently explaining on his Facebook:
“Oh, I’m sure you would’ve all liked for me to just let them deliver it, but a) My apartment complex would boot my ass on to the street. The only thing worse than being homeless is being a homeless yak owner. b) My beagle Lucy would lose her motherf**king mind. c) I’m an astrophysicist, not Baron Moneybags Von Richf**k so I can’t just spend $3,000 on a yak to amuse the Internet.”
To be honest, he’s not wrong about any of that but if we were him, we’d think about an immediate change of pharmacist.
