Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife.
Tearfully she explained,

"It's the pharmacist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone."

Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand
an apology. Before he could say more than a word or two, the druggist told
him, "Now, just a minute, listen to my side of the story.

This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went
without breakfast and hurried out to the car, only to realize that I locked
the house with both house and car keys inside.

I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I
got a speeding ticket. When I was about three blocks from the store, I got a
flat tire. When I finally got here, there was a bunch of people waiting for
me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people
and, all the time, the damn phone was ringing off the hook."

He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash
register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got
down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels. The phone was still ringing. When I came up, I cracked my head on the open cash drawer which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume
bottles on it . all of them hit the floor and broke.

Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to
answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal
thermometer . and believe me, mister, as God is my witness, all I did was
tell her."
