What A Day...
Upon arriving home in eager anticipation of a leisurely evening, the 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 accost the pharmacist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a word or two, the poor bloke told him, "Now, just a minute - listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up.
I went without breakfast or coffee and hurried out to the car, but I'll be damned if I didn't lock the house with both house and car keys inside.
I had to break a window to get my keys. Driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Then, about three streets from the shopI had a flat tyre.
When I finally got to the shop there was a queue of people waiting for me to open up. I got the shop opened and started serving these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing its head off. Then I had to break a roll of coins 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 coins -
the phone is 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 display of perfume bottles on it, and half of them hit the floor and broke. The phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it.
It was your wife - she wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer.
Well, Mister, I TOLD HER!"
