The Pharmacist has a bad day....
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 to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a word or two, the pharmacist said, "Please, 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 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 quickly, I got a speeding ticket. Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tyre. 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 phone is ringing off the hook.
He continued, "Then I broke 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 stood up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase of perfume bottles . . . half of them hit the floor and shattered. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no letup.
"I finally managed to answer it. It was your wife. "She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer . . . and believe me, sir, with God as my witness, all I did was tell her!"
