The Pharmacist  Upon arriving home, 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.  I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone.' Immediately, the husband drove downtown toconfront 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 it.

This morning the alarm failed to go off, so Iwas late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the housewith both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, when I 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 darn 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 had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels and 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. Half of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, 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. And believe me sir, as God is my witness, all I did was tell her.'
