TOUGH day at the pharmacy: arriving home, a husband was met by his sobbing wife.
Tearfully she explained, "The pharmacist - he insulted me this morning on the phone.
"I had to call five times before he would even answer the call."
Infuriated, the husband drove down to confront the pharmacist to demand an apology.
Before he could say more than a word or two, the pharmacist said "Now, just a minute... please hear my side of it: this morning the alarm failed to go off, so I ran late.
"Without breakfast I hurried out to the car, to realise I'd locked the house with 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 streets from the store, I had a flat tyre.
"When I finally got to the store an impatient bunch of people were waiting for me to open up.
"While waiting on these people, the phone rang off the hook.
"Then I had to break open a bag of dollar coins to give change, and they spilled all over the floor.
"I was on my hands and knees to pick up the coins and the infernal phone was still ringing.
"When I stood up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bottles of expensive perfumes on it. Half of them hit the floor and broke.
"I finally got to answer the madly ringing phone and I found it was your wife.
"She asked me how to use a rectal thermometer, and I promise all I did was tell her what to do."
