Uniform

"Uniform"*

*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 AM.

Not wanting to wake his wife, he undressed in the
dark, crept into the bedroom and started to climb into
bed. She 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 room, he got dressed and walked over to the drug store.

As he arrived, the pharmacist looked up in surprise,
"Say," said the druggist, "aren't you Officer Fenwick of the 8th District?"

"Yes, I am," said the officer.

"Well, then, what in the world are you doing in the Fire Chief's uniform?!"
