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."

Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront 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 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,
when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire.

"Then I finally got to the store and 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 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 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,
as God is my witness, all I did was tell her!"
