Upon arriving home from work, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully, she explained, "It's the druggist. 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 then a word or two, the druggist told him, "Now, just hold on a minute and listen to my side of it!
This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, where I realized that I had locked the house and left the keys for the house and the car back inside. I had to break a window to get my keys.
Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Then, when was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I finally got to the store 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 darned 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 with the phone still ringing in my ears.
When I came back up, I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a whole bunch of perfume bottles on it. More than half of them hit the floor and broke.
Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up. When I finally got back to answer it, it was your wife on the phone.
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!"
