Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife.
Tearfully she explained,
"It's the chemist.
He insulted me me terribly this morning on the phone.
I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone".

Immediately , the husband drove into town to confront the chemist and demand an apology.
Before he could say more than a word or two , the chemist told him,
"Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it.

This morning the alarm failed to go off , so I was late in getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car , just to realize that I'd locked the house with both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my keys".
Then, driving to fast, I got a speeding ticket.

Later, when I was about three streets away from the shop .
I had a flat tyre"
"When I finally got to the store a bunch of people were waiting for me to open up.
I opened and started waiting on these people , all the time the dam phone was ringing off the hook".

He continued,
"Then I had to break open a bag of pound coins against the cash register drawer to put some change in and they dropped all over the floor.
I had to get down on my hands and knees to pick the coins up and the phone kept ringing .



When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer , which made me stagger back against a showcase 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 to answer it.

It was your wife.
She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer.



And believe me , mister, as God is my witness, all I did was tell her".
