I told you not to over torque it!
That is one of the best ones I've read in YEARS! Kudos!!!A man arrived home to find his wife sobbing.
“What’s wrong, darling?” he asked.
Through tears she said,
“The chemist… he insulted me on the phone this morning! I had to call several times before he even answered.”
The husband stormed down to the pharmacy, ready to demand an apology.
Before he could get more than a word out, the chemist said,
“Now hold on - let me tell you my side of the story.”
“This morning, my alarm didn’t go off. I woke up late, skipped breakfast, and rushed out the door… only to realize I’d locked both my house and car keys inside.”
“I had to break a window to get them. Then I sped off and got a ticket. Three streets from the shop, I got a flat tire.”
“When I finally arrived at the shop, customers were already impatiently waiting. I opened up, started serving, and the phone would NOT stop ringing. Ring, ring, ring, ring”
“Then I broke open a bag of pound coins for change — they went everywhere. I’m on my hands and knees picking them up, the phone still ringing.”
“I stood up, smashed my head on the cash drawer, staggered back into a shelf of expensive perfume, and half of it shattered on the floor.”
“Still… the phone keeps ringing. I finally answer it.”
“It was your wife.”
“She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer.”
“And believe me, mate…
as God is my witness…
all I did was tell her how to use it.
