The Chief

"The Chief"

A police officer, though scheduled for all-night duty
at the station, was relieved of duty early and arrived
home four hours ahead of schedule, at 2 in the
morning. Not wanting to wake his wife, he undressed
in the dark, crept into the bedroom and started to climb
into bed.

Just then, his wife sleepily sat up and said, "Mike,
dearest, would you go down to the all-night drug store
on the next block and get me some aspirin? I've got a
splitting headache."

"Certainly, honey," he said, and feeling his way across
the dark room, he got dressed and walked over to the
drug store.

As he arrived, the pharmacist looked up in surprise,
"Say," said the druggist, "I know you - aren't you a
policeman? Officer Fenwick, right?"

"Yeah, so?" said the officer.

"Well what the heck are you doing all dressed like the
Fire Chief?"
