COVENTRY MESSAGE BOARD

Arriving home, a husband was met by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "The Chemist. He insulted me this morning on the phone. I
had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone."

The husband drove down to confront the Chemist to demand an apology.

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 about three streets from the store, I had a flat tyre."

"When I finally got to the store a bunch of people were waiting for me to open up. I started waiting on these people, all the time the damn phone never stopped ringing. Then I had to break open a bag of one and two dollar coins against the cash register drawer to give change and they spilled all over the floor I had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the dollar coins 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 bottles of expensive perfumes 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, mate, as God is my witness, all I did
