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 druggist - he insulted me terribly thismorning on the phone." Immediately the husband drove downtown to accost 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.Driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Then, 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 toopen up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people, and allthe time the darn phone was ringing its head off.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 is still ringing - when I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, whichmade me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it, and half of them hit the floor and broke.Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got backto answer it. It was your wife - she wanted to know how to use a rectalthermometer. And Mister, I told her!!!"
