Husband Gets Angry With The Pharmacist
When we arrived home, looking forward to a pleasant evening.
… the husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. “It’s the pharmacist – he insulted me on the phone this morning,” she said in tears.
The husband immediately went downtown, caught the pharmacist, and demanded that he apologize.
Before he could get out a word or two, the pharmacist said to him: “Now listen to my side of the story. The alarm didn’t go off this morning, so I woke up late. I rushed out to the car without breakfast, but damned if I didn’t lock up when I had the keys to the house and the car. I had to break the window to get the keys.
“I got a speeding ticket for going a little too fast, and then I got a flat tire about three blocks from the store. When I finally got to the store, there were a bunch of people waiting for me to open the store. So I opened the store and started waiting for people, and all the while the damn phone kept ringing.
“Then I had to break a roll of coins in the cash drawer to make change, and all the coins spilled out on the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the coins – the phone was still ringing – and when I got up, I hit my head on the open cash drawer, which sent me stumbling into a display case full of perfume bottles, half of which hit the floor and broke.”
“The phone kept ringing and ringing and finally I went back to answer it. It was your wife – she wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer. Sir, I told her!”
They Say Men Don’t Listen To Women
A man asked his wife what she wanted for her 40th birthday.
“I’d like to be six again,” she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he woke her up early and they went to a local amusement park.
What a day! He took her on every ride in the park: Death Slide, Scream Loop, Wall of Horror, everything! Wow!
Five hours later, dizzy and sick to his stomach, he staggered out of the amusement park.
They went straight to McDonald’s and her husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
Then they went to the movies – it was the latest Disney movie and what an amazing adventure!
Finally, she returned home with her husband and collapsed on the bed.
Her husband leaned over and asked her affectionately: “So, honey, what was it like to be six years old again?”
The woman looked up wearily and said;
“You fool, I meant my dress size.”
The moral of the story is this:
If a woman speaks and a man is really listening, he will still misunderstand.
