Subject: The Pharmacist's Monday Morning
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.
I had to call multiple times before he would even answer 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
I'd locked the house with both house and car keys inside and 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 a bunch of people
were waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started
waiting on these people, 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
had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels and 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, as God is my witness, all I did was tell her."
