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 phamacist and demand an apology.

Before he could say more than a few words, the pharmacist told him, " Now, just a minute, please 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, just 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. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook. 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 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 ............. honest, Mister .............. all I did was tell her !!! "
