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. 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
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, Mister, I TOLD HER!
